Applications

The application of Myoton technology provides invaluable information on the condition of superficial skeletal muscles, tendons and other soft tissues in several fields of medicine and sports.

The relevance of the biomechanical properties for determining the functional state of muscles has only recently been more clearly understood. For research in the following applications, Myoton opens a whole new field for a better understanding of how Tone, Stiffness or Elasticity are related to muscle health and physical condition.

This new set of information allows objective assessment of the progression and efficacy of various factors, such as medical interventions, sports exercise, symmetry, injuries or ageing. Potentially Myoton technology could help to detect musculoskeletal disorders, diseases or risk of injury at an early stage, so that preventive measures or appropriate medical treatment can be provided well in time.

The existing scientific background about reliability, validity and practicality is listed under the publications section.

Research

Medical

A number of medical areas have been identified in which Myoton technology could add value to assess muscle abnormalities and treatment efficacy.

Close

Sport

Studies in various sports indicate that Myoton may be a useful tool for monitoring the physical condition of muscles in the training and recovery process.

Need for Muscle Measurements

To improve people’s muscle health, Myoton leads the way in the non-invasive and cost-effective assessment of soft biological tissues that is consistent with the principles of preventative and evidence-based medicine.

Muscle measurements can be driven by the need for muscle conditioning or need for relaxation. Need for Muscle Conditioning can be related with the development of muscle performance for sports, recovery from disease or injury. Need for Muscle Relaxation can be related with neurological disorders, myo-fascial pain, decreased range of motion, stress, muscle injury or inflammation, musculoskeletal diseases, ageing.

As in nature, delicate balance is a key element for harmony, thus the Myoton parameters within an optimum range provide an indication of good muscle health!
