Inter-rater Reliability of Myoton-3 Myometer for Assessing Muscle Tone in Healthy Adults
Abstract：Objective To examine the inter-rater reliablity of Myoton-3 Myometer in assessment of muscle tone in healthy subjects. Methods 20 healthy volunteers were assessed their muscle tone of biceps brachii and flexor carpi radialis muscles in relaxed state with Myo-ton-3 by 2 testers within 24 h. The frequency of damping oscillations (F value) measured by Myoton-3 was as the characteristic of the mus-cle tone. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis were performed. Results The ICC was 0.72~0.88 and 0.79~0.89 in triple scan and ten-time scan pattern, respectively. The Bland-Altman analysis revealed no systematic errors between testers. Conclu-sion The Myoton-3 Myometer is reliable between testers for measuring the muscle tone in healthy adults.
