N2 - Purpose: This study aimed to systematically examine the influence of various muscle and experimental conditions on Myoton recordings. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational design was used to examine muscle conditions and experimental factors (different recording sites, muscle length, level of contraction and prior physical activity) that may influence reproducibility of Myoton recordings for biceps brachii (BB) and rectus femoris (RF). Fifty-three healthy adults (26 young, 27 older) aged 18–90 years were studied. Muscle stiffness, tone and elasticity were measured using the MyotonPRO device. Results: Statistically significant differences in Myoton parameters were found for aspects of all four muscle and experimental conditions compared with the control condition (p
