Description
Baptiste Chanel, Carole Cometti, and Nicolas Babault compare in 2025 how joint position changes tissue stiffness in grown men and in boys before puberty. They used shear wave measurements, an ultrasound method that reads how fast a ripple crosses muscle and tendon, as a window on stiffness.
Ten men and ten boys each took ten positions, crossing five knee angles with two hip angles. The team measured the two big front-thigh muscles and the kneecap tendon at rest in every pose. Their data show how much of an adult's stiffness pattern is already present in childhood and how much arrives with growth.
