BACKGROUND: Most methods assessing soft tissue stiffness are associated with high costs
and considerable technical effort. A previous study demonstrated that the tissue compliance …

Objective. The aim of the study was to examine the test–retest reliability of the Myoton-2
myometer for measuring skeletal muscle viscoelastic stiffness. Methods. Ten healthy …

Biomechanically, muscle stiffness is the ratio of force response that results from and resists
mechanical stretch. 1 The stiffness of the passive structures surrounding a joint contributes …

Simple but objective measurement of soft tissue consistency would be advantageous in the
assessment of many neurological, lymphostatic and venous disorders. The aim of the …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability and accuracy of a new method of tissue stiffness (TS)
assessment, automated stiffness assessment (ASA), and compare these findings with …

Tensiomyography (TMG) is a non-invasive method for measuring contractile properties of
skeletal muscle that is increasingly being used in research and practice. However, the lack …

Myotonometric measurement of muscle compliance represents new technology that
quantifies muscle tone. Compliance change during muscle contraction might provide an …

Aim. To verify that tensiomyography (TMG) is a reliable method for the non-invasive
assessment of the contractile properties of muscles, independently of sensor position …

The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and inter-day reliability of musculo-
articular stiffness (MAS) in the knee-extensor (KE) and knee-flexor (KF) muscle groups …

[Purpose] To compare measurements of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength
performed using a hand-held dynamometer and an isokinetic dynamometer in apparently …
