Myotonometer Intra- and Inter Examiner Reliability on Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Turkey (Türkiye)30 participantsStarted 2022-08-26

Plain-language summary

The primary aim of the study was to measure the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of MyotonPRO in measuring postural muscle tone and mechanical properties in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The secondary aim is to question the existence of a relationship between the functional levels of individuals with SMA and their muscle tone and biomechanical properties. It is assumed that the outputs to be obtained from this research will form the norm data for moyotonometer evaluation in children with SMA.
