Purpose: The authors investigated the reliability of myotonometry-measured muscle tone in thenar and perineal muscles. Methods: Participants were women aged 18-50 years who asymptomatic for thumb pelvic floor dysfunction (interrater study n=20; intrarater n=43) or symptomatic vulvodynia n=14; n=32). Mechanical properties (stiffness, frequency, decrement, relaxation time, creep) muscles measured using a myotonometer (MyotonPRO) while relaxed state. Measures performed twice by two assessors....
