The shear moduli of VM, RF, and VL of the young and senior adults at different knee angles. Compared to young adults, the senior adults exhibited significantly greater shear moduli when assessed over 60° knee flexion for the RF and VL muscles and at 105° of knee flexion for the VM. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01. VM: vastus medialis; RF: rectus femoris; VL: vastus lateralis
