Abstract: The invention relates to a method for quantitative dynamic evaluation of skeletal muscles functionality comprising the following steps: a) receiving one or more sequences of two-dimensional or three- dimensional echographic images of the muscle under investigation; b) transforming such sequence or sequences of images in sequences of measurements of deformations and/or strain rates in more spatial locations of the muscle or the muscles to evaluate; c) outputting such sequences of spatial measurements in numeric and/or graphical format. A corresponding device is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for estimation of elastic properties of tissues, particularly skeletal muscles, subjected to a mechanical stress, the method being characterized in comprising the following steps: a) receiving one or more sequences of two-dimensional or three- dimensional echographic images of the tissue under investigation; b) transforming such sequence or sequences of images in sequences of measurements of deformations and/or strain rates in one or more spatial locations of the tissue; c) acquiring from at least one sensor at least one signal indicative of the applied stress so as to obtain, through processing of said signal, information on the entity of the stress; d) calculating stiffness-related parameters as a function of the stress and the deformations and/or strain rates as measured; e) outputting such stiffness-related parameters in numeric and/or graphical format. A corresponding device is also disclosed.
