Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Individuals without any systemic or metabolic diseases, psychological illnesses, or drug abuse; those without any diseases that could cause muscle disease or muscle atrophy; and those who had not undergone any surgery in the musculoskeletal system during the past 3 months were included

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Myotonometric evaluation

Diagnostic Test

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.

Primary outcomes

Myotonometric evaluation

Time frame: 1 year

The muscle tone, stiffness and elasticity of participants are assessed with myoton device for creating normative data
