Effects of aging on mechanical properties of sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles during transition from lying to sitting position—A cross-sectional study

Highlights • Stiffness and muscle tone of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid increas with age. • Elasticity of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid decrease with age. • Ageing changes mechanical parameters of muscles both in lying and sitting position. • Ageing only slightly affects mechanical parameter...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Stiffness and muscle tone of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid increas with age. • Elasticity of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid decrease with age. • Ageing changes mechanical parameters of muscles both in lying and sitting position. • Ageing only slightly affects mechanical parameters during change of posture.
