BACKGROUND: There is a lack of research into the relationship between obesity and
muscle–tendon unit stiffness in postmenopausal women. Muscle–tendon unit stiffness …

Background Measurement of muscle hardness is important for objective evaluation of the
muscle condition. Muscle hardness may be related to muscle size, but this relationship has …

Introduction Low back and lower extremity injuries are responsible for the highest
percentage of musculoskeletal injuries in US Army soldiers. Execution of common soldier …

Biomechanical tissue properties have been hypothesized to play a critical role in the
quantification of prosthetic socket production for individuals with limb amputation. In this …

Tensiomyography detects the contraction time (Tc) and amplitude (Dm) of muscle belly
thickening during maximal isometric twitch contraction. The assessment of both parameters …

Quantitative assessment of the biomechanical properties of limb soft tissues has become
more important during the last decade because of the introduction of computer-aided design …

Tensiomyography (TMG) has gained popularity as a tool to quantify muscle contractile
properties. However, it is unclear whether joint angle and inter-stimulus interval influence …

Objectives Bone material properties are a major determinant of bone health in older age,
both in terms of fracture risk and implant fixation, in orthopaedics and dentistry. Bone is an …

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of using MyotonPRO to
quantify the mechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit through in vivo measurements …

Abstract Study Design Randomized clinical trial. Background Muscle stiffness is a potential
complication after injury and has been shown to be a risk factor for injury in healthy …
