Clinical Trial Summary

The study will demonstrate the relation between muscle tone and viscoelastic properties with the body mass index.

Description:

Obesity is an increasingly important health problem. It can be defined as excessive fat accumulation. Obesity is a low-severity systemic inflammatory condition that predisposes to chronic diseases.Obesity is closely related to adipose tissue, it can have direct or indirect effects on physical activity and musculoskeletal system. The systems working with oscillation techniques, subcutaneous tissue thickness may affect the probe stroke of the device and oscillation in the tissue. In previous studies were investigated mechanical properties, and BMI used as exclusion criteria is over 30 kg/meter square or keeping it at certain intervals (18-28 kg /meter square) but this proof is not demonstrated and still lack.This study is planned to determine the relation of mechanical properties (tone, stiffness and elasticity) obtained by myotonometric assessment with body mass index.

• Viscoelasticity

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• Myotonometric assessment
MyotonPro device is vertically placed on the muscle, a probe (3 mm diameter) creates constant pre-excitations (0.18 N) and generates short-term (15 ms), low-force (0.4 N) mechanical stimulations.These stimulations induce damped natural oscillations in the tissue and the device records these oscillations using an accelerometer. Muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness are calculated separately by the device
