Myotonometer Intra- and Interrater Reliabilities1 Charles T Leonard, PT, PhD, William P Deshner, PT, James W Romo, PT, Eric S Suoja, PT, Steven C Fehrer, PT, PhD, Eugene L Mikhailenok, MD, PhD Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Volume 84, Issue 6, Pages 928-932 (June 2003) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-9993(03)00006-6

Fig 1. Myotonometer-generated graph showing millimeters of tissue displacement per kilogram of force (tissue resistance) for the relaxed and contracted biceps brachii muscle. The graph was generated by using group data obtained during intrarater reliability testing (table 2). Each data point represents the mean of the 32 subjects. Note the increased displacement per unit force during the relaxed state. NOTE. Error bars represent standard deviations.
