Experiments conducted as part of Physiological Measurements & Instrumentation Laboratory (AM5023) during December 2021 & January 2022.

EXPERIMENT: To measure the tone, stiffness and hardness of the plantar region of the left and right foot.

OBJECTIVES:
i. Measure the tone and stiffness of the plantar fascia muscles at 8 points on the foot using the MyotonPro hand-held device.
ii. Measure the hardness of the plantar region at 8 points of the foot using a durometer.
iii. Check for the reproducibility of myoton and durometer readings and compute the coefficient of variation.
iv. Analyze the obtained values for the left and right foot.
