To determine whether quantitative differences in shear-wave velocity (SWV) exist between normal skeletal muscle and those affected by GNE-related myopathy and to examine the effects of muscle anisotropy, depth, and axial preload on SWV in a healthy control group. This study was approved by the insti...
