Associations between muscle myotonometry (a)symmetry and functional movement performance in young women and men

Abstract: Asymmetry of body parts refers to absence of symmetry and unevenly developed body parts in terms of the axis and plane. It has been long ago noticed that no perfectly correct human body exists, and bodies are to a greater or lesser extent asymmetric. A passive way of life, insufficient movement and inappropriate ergonomics of the workplace have a negative impact on the skeletal muscle system, usually resulting in reduced muscle power, static and dynamic muscle endurance, and altered muscle tone. The aim is to … Show more

“…It is an essential feature of a healthy and well-functioning muscle [23] and is important in the maintenance of balance, stability, and posture [11,12]. Resting muscle tone is derived from the viscoelastic properties of the muscle [10] and reduced muscle tone results in reduced muscle efficiency and weakening of the muscle function [24]. Crudely, we found that our cohort of CKD patients exhibited reduced muscle tone of the rectus femoris compared to that observed in healthy older and younger adults [7,[19][20][21]25], as well as other clinical conditions such as spinal cord injury and HD [15,17,18].…”
