“…New measures of muscular properties are being developed, offering an in vivo, objective, clinical, non-invasive alternative to subjective assessments. These include tensiomyography or TMG, which uses electrical stimulation to elicit muscle oscillations to measure contraction time and muscle displacement [7]; various devices that measure tissue stiffness, such as muscle 'hardness' meters [8], myotonometry, which compresses (≥ 1 ≤ 2 seconds) the muscle to record tissue displacement [9,10], and a mechano-acoustic indentor system that records tissue displacement to measure non-linear elastic properties [11]; and the recently introduced Myoton technology, which elicits mechanically induced oscillations [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The different technologies have their relative advantages.…”
