The aim of this review was to identify instrumented devices that quantify skeletal muscle mechanical properties and to evaluate their potential clinical utility and clinimetric evidence with respect to children. Four databases were searched to identify articles reporting original clinimetric data for devices measuring muscle stiffness or elastic modulus, along a muscle's main fibre direction. Clinimetric evidence was rated using the Consensus-Based Standard for the Selection of Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist. Sixty-five articles provided clinimetric data for two devices meeting our criteria: the Aixplorer and the Acuson. Both are shear wave elastography devices that determine the shear modulus of muscle tissue. The Aixplorer had strong construct validity and reliability, and the Acuson, moderate construct validity and reliability. Both devices have sound clinical utility with non-invasive application at various joint positions and data acquisition in real time, minimizing fatigue. Further research is warranted to evaluate utility for children with specific disorders of abnormal muscle structure or function.
