Identification of viscous and elastic properties of soft tissue in vivo, in vitro by device so-called myotonometer

Abstract

The aim of this work is to assess the viscous and elastic properties of soft tissue. For this purpose we have set up a device called myotonometer, which evaluate the rheologic properties of skeletal muscles in humans. key words: myotonometer, viscosity, elasticity, muscle tonus
