Gabriella L. Dunay & coauthors found that analysis of regional heterogeneity improves sensitivity of ultrasound shear-wave elastography to changes with Achilles tendinopathy. Read more in JOR: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Representative tendon shear modulus and viscosity heat maps and histograms. The red curves represent kernel density estimates (as described in Equation 2), and the red arrows indicate peak values derived from these kernel distributions, showing data from a participant with unilateral Achilles tendinopathy.

Dr. Kayla Seymore earned her PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science at the University of Delaware, under advisement of Dr. Karin Grävare Silbernagel. Her dissertation was entitled ‘From Growth to Injury: Investigating the Relationship Between Age and Achilles Tendon Health’. Images show a headshot of Dr. Seymore, her defense committee, and the University of Delaware academic logo.
