Summary

The myotonometric assessment is becoming popular and important in athletic population. It is mentioned an alternate method than expensive methods, and it is easy and reliable assessment. Still there is not enough information of mechanical characteristics in athletic population and ankle mobility. Most clinicians or trainers can use this results and technique for enhancing performance, rehabilitation or prevention

Conditions

  • Mobility Limitation
  • Stiffness of Right Ankle, Not Elsewhere Classified
  • Stiffness of Left Ankle, Not Elsewhere Classified
  • Tone Increased, Muscle

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

myotonometric assessment

The measurement method of the device is based on the free oscillation technique. Firstly, the probe of the device is placed perpendicular to the skin and a pre-pressure is applied to compress the subcutaneous tissue. Then, a short mechanical impulse is applied, causing damped oscillation on the tissue and the co-oscillation is recorded by an accelerometer.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ankle mobility assessment

The knee to wall lunge test will use in a standing position while the heel in contact with the ground and the knee was in line with second toe. Athletes will do lunge forward and inclinometer will be place at the middle anterior tibial crista and measurement will be record.
