Myoton works together with top scientific and medical institutions throughout the world to provide comprehensive, independent and reliable studies on the use of MyotonPRO in various medical applications.

Should you be interested in conducting research with MyotonPRO, then we would be delighted to carefully review your research proposal before jointly deciding the level of support required.

The following section contains a list of scientific studies on the use and effectiveness of the Myoton method and technology. Most of the studies have been conducted with earlier device models Myoton-2 and Myoton-3 (CE-certified as a medical device according to MDD93/42/CEE), but the fundamental principles of the myometric method has remained unchanged throughout the evolution of the Myoton technology.
