Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Obesity is an increasingly important health problem. It can be defined as excessive fat accumulation. Obesity is a low-severity systemic inflammatory condition that predisposes to chronic diseases.Obesity is closely related to adipose tissue, it can have direct or indirect effects on physical activity and musculoskeletal system. The systems working with oscillation techniques, subcutaneous tissue thickness may affect the probe stroke of the device and oscillation in the tissue. In previous studies were investigated mechanical properties, and BMI used as exclusion criteria is over 30 kg/meter square or keeping it at certain intervals (18-28 kg /meter square) but this proof is not demonstrated and still lack.This study is planned to determine the relation of mechanical properties (tone, stiffness and elasticity) obtained by myotonometric assessment with body mass index.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The people will assigned to groups depend on body mass index. The biceps brachii (BB), biceps femoris (BF) tone, and viscoelastic properties (stiffness and elasticity) will be evaluated bilaterally using the ''MyotonPRO'' device.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Normal

Body mass index must to be in range limits (18.5-24.9 kg/meter square)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myotonometric assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

MyotonPro device is 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.These stimulations induce damped natural oscillations in the tissue and the device records these oscillations using an accelerometer. Muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness are calculated separately by the device

Overweight

Body mass index must to be in range limits (25-29.9 kg/meter square)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myotonometric assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

MyotonPro device is 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.These stimulations induce damped natural oscillations in the tissue and the device records these oscillations using an accelerometer. Muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness are calculated separately by the device

Obese

Body mass index must to be in range limits (30-34.9 kg/meter square)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myotonometric assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

MyotonPro device is 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.These stimulations induce damped natural oscillations in the tissue and the device records these oscillations using an accelerometer.
