Changes in tissue stiffness are associated with pathological conditions such as myofascial
pain and increased risk of muscle injury. Furthermore, they have been shown to modify …

A hand held stiffness meter can be used to measure indentation stiffness of human soft
tissues, sensitively altered, eg, by pathological tissue swelling. Under indentation load, the …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Background/Objective: Differences in soft-tissue stiffness may provide for a
quantitative assessment and detection technique for pressure ulcers or deep-tissue injury …

Quantitative assessment of the mechanical properties of soft tissues in vivo is required in
both clinical and research fields. This paper introduces a hand-held indentation system that …

Background The digital measurement tools Myoton-2 and Myoton-3 proved to be reliable
and useful for assessing biomechanical properties of myofascial tissues (1, 2, 3). These …

An objective in vivo measurement technique for assessing the material properties of soft
tissue would be a valuabe tool in diagnosing dermatological pathologies. In order to make …

The objective was to test the measurements association between tensiomyography (TMG)
and shear wave elastography (SWE) when evaluating the skeletal muscle stiffness of …
