[Alternating-discrete tonometry in evaluating the efficacy of post-isometric relaxation of local muscle hypertonia].
A technique of tonometry of the local muscular hypertonus has been developed. Its essence lies in the registration of muscle deformation in response to the external exertion varying from 0 to 5 kg. The detected changes in the tonus are expressed in a graphic form. A session of postisometric relaxation is followed by an increase in the muscle tonus for a brief interval, succeeded by its stable decrease over 24-48 hours. The results obtained are discussed in terms of changing proprioceptive afferentation.
