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)

MyotonPRO enables us to detect even minor changes in muscle stiffness. This provides with invaluable information about treatment efficacy.

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 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.

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

"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.

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