Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The purpose of this study is to assess differences in skeletal muscle compressibility beten patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and normal subjects. The transverse passive mechanical properties of muscle, particularly those related to stiffness and elasticity, can be measured using force-controlled ultrasound.  acquired ultrasound videos of muscle compression under known pressures in the biceps and quadriceps in 23 boys with DMD and 20 age-matched healthy controls.  calculated the bulk linear spring constant, nonlinear stress-strain response, and average Young's modulus for each. Young's modulus was found to be significantly higher in the DMD population in both the biceps (normal: 33 ± 6 kPa, DMD: 45 ± 14, p < .01) and quadriceps (normal: 42 ± 6, DMD: 58 ± 14, p < .0001). Muscle compressibility measured by force-controlled ultrasound is an objective and robust technique to quantitatively monitor the effects of DMD and distinguish from normal subjects.
