Regional comparison of SWE and mechanical stiffness measurements in healthy and diabetic plantar models. Line graphs illustrating regional differences in shear wave elastography (SWE) values—Young’s modulus (E, kPa) and shear wave velocity (m/s)—as well as mechanical stiffness measurements obtained using the Durometer (Shore-OO), MyotonPRO (N/m), IndentoPRO (N), and TCM (N/mm) across the calcaneal, midfoot, and forefoot regions. Data are presented separately for diabetic (blue line) and healthy (green line) phantom models.
