Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the viscoelastic properties of auxiliary respiratory muscles and peripheral muscles of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with healthy subjects. Myotonometry was used to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of the muscles. The viscoelastic properties of the sternoclaidus mastoid, pectoralis major, upper trapezius, deltoid, biceps brachii, rectus femoris, gastrocinemius, and tibialis anterior muscles were evaluated.

Detailed description

muscle viscoelastic properties; muscle tone, stiffness and elasticity. These features may vary due to muscle overuse, lack of relaxation and recovery. The aim is to investigate these differences in COPD patients and healthy individuals.

Conditions

• COPD
• Muscle Tone Abnormalities
