Purpose: to examine interrater and within-session reliability of using the MyotonPRO device for measuring non-neural tone and mechanical properties of the rectus femoris and biceps brachii muscles in healthy young and older adults. Methods: forty-two healthy males were studied: n=21 aged 25.9 (SD 4.4) years and n=21 aged 72.1 (SD 4.9) years. The My...
The MyotonPRO (Myoton Ltd; London) is a new portable device for measuring muscle mechanical properties (e.g. tone) and its reliability has yet to be established. Little is known about between-limb symmetry of mechanical properties in healthy older people, despite symmetry often being used as a measure of unilateral abnormalities in clinical assessm...

... MyotonPRO ® is a noninvasive, portable, easy-to-use, and relatively inexpensive device, which is used for prevention, detection of the risk of injury, and monitoring in rehabilitation processes. Tese characteristics allow it to be used in many environments, including in competitions and outside of a laboratory [18,24]. ...

... People with contractures feel an involuntary increase in muscle tone and a decrease in elasticity, which seems to limit their range of motion [11,14]. Muscle tone is commonly defned as tension at rest, clinically determined as resistance to passive movement [15], and can be evaluated, in superfcial muscles, by tensiomiography [16,17] and myotonometry tools [18] MyotonPRO ® is an easy-to-use, lightweight, noninvasive device outside the laboratory employed in this study. Another method such as tensiomyography also assesses muscle properties noninvasively. ...
