Muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are usually
approached as dysfunctions of the affected skeletal myofibres and their force transmission …

Peripheral fatigue results from multiple electrochemical and mechanical events in the cell
body and the muscle–tendon complex. Combined force and surface electromyographic …

Skeletal muscle is a very dynamic tissue, thus accurate quantification of skeletal muscle
stiffness throughout its functional range is crucial to improve the physical functioning and …

BACKGROUND: The MyotonPRO (Myoton Ltd; London) is a new portable device for
measuring muscle mechanical properties (eg tone) and its reliability has yet to be …

Background Age and gender effects on muscle tone and mechanical properties have not
been studied using hand-held myometric technology. Monitoring changes in muscle …

The aim of this study was to compare measurement methods of tissue stiffness using
ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and superficial mechanical deformation …

Background Stiffness is commonly assessed in relation to injury and athletic performance.
The purpose of this research was to compare the validity and reliability of 3 in vivo methods …

Physical exercise is important for people living under extreme environmental conditions to
stay healthy. Particularly in space, exercise can partially counteract the loss of muscle mass …
