This study aims 1. To examine the reliability of SWE assessment in the shoulder muscles of persons after a stroke. 2. To assess if differentiation can be made between the hemiplegic (HP) and non-hemiplegic (NHP) side and between stroke patients and matched healthy volunteers (discriminative validity). 3. To assess if an immediate effect on the pectoralis major and minor can be measured after applying transversal stretch technique to the pectoralis major muscles (response validity).
