DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF STATE OF TENSION, BIOMECHANICAL AND VISCOELASTIC PROPERTIES OF SURFACES OF SOFT BIOLOGICAL TISSUES
A device and method for the non-invasive measurement of state of tension, biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of surfaces of soft biological tissues includes electronic, digital and mechanical elements and sensors, and a testing end. The elements within the housing can subject the testing end to a mechanical impulse force, and can sense the movement of the testing end. The testing end has a contact surface which can be adhered to the surface of the soft biological tissue, and subjected to a mechanical force in a direction parallel to the surface.
