NCT ID NCT06390085
Summary
This small study aimed to understand how stiff muscle tissue feels by filming skin movement during massage. Researchers applied washable ink to participants' backs and used cameras to record how the skin stretched when a physical therapist performed assessments and massage. The goal was to develop a non-invasive way to measure tissue stiffness related to back and neck pain.
