Additionally, it assessed the relationship between pinch strength and these properties.</div></div><div><h3>Study Design</h3><div>Cross-sectional reliability study.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Fifty-five healthy young adult participants were recruited. Biomechanical properties of the abductor pollicis brevis and flexor pollicis brevis muscles — tone (Hz), stiffness (N/m), and elasticity (logarithmic decrement)—were measured using MyotonPRO, while pinch strength was assessed using a Baseline pinch gauge bilaterally. For intrarater reliability, the first rater (R1), conducted two sets of measurements at 30-minute intervals. Inter-rater reliability was evaluated by the second rater (R2) performing a set of measurements between R1's two sets.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Fifty participants [mean age<!--> <!-->=<!--> <span>22.84 (1.01) years, mean body mass index</span> <!-->=<!--> <!-->20.86 (2.82) kg/m²] completed the study. Test-retest reliability for the biomechanical properties of the abductor pollicis brevis and flexor pollicis brevis muscles showed good to excellent consistency (ICCs: 0.78-0.97). Inter-rater reliability demonstrated sufficient consistency across (ICCs: 0.78-0.93). Sex-based differences were observed on the nondominant side, with males exhibiting lower logarithmic decrement scores for both muscles (<em>p</em> <!-->&lt;<!--> <!-->0.05). Negative correlations were found between pinch strength and abductor pollicis brevis logarithmic decrement scores on both sides (<em>p</em> <!-->&lt;<!--> <!-->0.05).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The study confirms the reliability of MyotonPRO in evaluating the mechanical properties of the thenar muscle in healthy subjects, with good to excellent consistency. Sex-based differences in elasticity, along with the positive correlation between pinch strength, underscore the importance of sex-specific considerations, suggesting elasticity may be considered a key factor in grip strength improvement.</div></div><div><h3>Trial Registration</h3><div>ClinicalTrial.gov/NCT06004635</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54814,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hand Therapy","volume":"38 3","pages":"Pages 594-604"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145055465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
