What does Myoton measure?

Tone or state of tension

  • F – Natural Oscillation Frequency [Hz], characterizing Tone or Tension

Biomechanical properties

  • S – Dynamic Stiffness [N/m]
  • D – Logarithmic Decrement of natural oscillation, characterizing Elasticity

Viscoelastic properties

  • R – Mechanical Stress Relaxation Time [ms]
  • C – Ratio of deformation and Relaxation time, characterising Creep (Deborah number)

Find out how it works

Our studies on Parkinson’s patients indicated high sensitivity of myometry to the mechanical properties of muscle changes related to an occurrence of parkinsonian rigidity.

MyotonPRO is probably the best known research tool for measuring muscle tone.

I foresee Myoton technology as an important diagnostic solution in the wide range of clinical applications, in sports as well as in space, where people live and work under extreme conditions.

Prof. Stefan Schneider Vice-President of the German Sport University Cologne, Director of the Centre of Health and Integrative Physiology in Space Institute of Movement and Neurosciences, German Sport University, Cologne, Germany

The MyotonPRO is a practical instrument which accurately quantifies myofascial tone, dynamic stiffness and other bio-mechanical and visco-elastic parameters.

MyotonPRO device could be used as an objective reference standard in developing a digital palpation scale or as a pre- or post-intervention measurement device.

MyotonPRO is a unique, quick and easy to use research tool. In my clinical practice it has proven remarkably cost-effective and efficient. The role of this instrument is very important for the clinical evaluation of treatment efficacy.
