Several tools have been used to assess muscular stiffness. Myotonometry stands out as an
accessible, handheld, and easy to use tool. The purpose of this review was to summarize …

Myotonometry is a relatively novel method used to quantify the biomechanical and
viscoelastic properties (stiffness, compliance, tone, elasticity, creep, mechanical relaxation) …

Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) incidence has increased among badminton players in recent
years. The foot internal stress was hard to obtain through experimental testing. The purpose …

Abstract Background Managing and rehabilitating Achilles tendinopathy can be difficult, and
the results are often unsatisfactory. Currently, clinicians use ultrasonography to diagnose the …

Background: The clinically relevant healing process of a ruptured and repaired Achilles
tendon (AT) can last more than a year. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to test if …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the validity of a short assessment MyotonPRO
protocol to measure the stiffness of the superficial muscles and tendons of the lower limbs …

The lumbopelvic muscle mechanical properties (MMPs) are clinically relevant, but their
dependence on sex remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to identify if lumbopelvic …

Little is known about gender differences in stiffness of forearm muscles during voluntary
actions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of forearm rotation on flexor carpi ulnaris …

This study aimed to identify if the muscle mechanical properties (MMPs) of both sides of
pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are symmetrical in different populations of both sexes. Between …

The aim of the study was to describe the applicability of shear wave elastography to assess
muscular and tendinous stiffness of the lower limbs during an incremental isometric strength …
