Novel Assessment of Viscoelastic Skeletal Muscle Properties in Chronic Kidney Disease: Association with Physical Functioning

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterised by poor physical function. Mechanical muscle properties such as tone, elasticity, and stiffness influence the functional state of the muscle. Measuring these muscle mechanical properties is difficult and data on CKD are sparse. Using a novel myotonometer...
