AT ultrasonography. (a) Subject position during the examination. Each subject was requested to lie on the examination bed in prone position, with both feet suspended over the edge of the bed fully relaxed. (b) STE examination of the distal segment of AT. The measured Emean value of the distal segment of AT was 234.42 kPa. (c) STE examination of the middle segment of AT. The measured Emean value of the middle segment of AT was 465.35 kPa. (d) STE examination of the proximal segment of AT. The measured Emean value of the proximal segment of AT was 491.75 kPa. AT, Achilles tendon; STE: Sound touch elastography; Emean: mean Young ‘s modulus
