The manual muscle test is widely used in clinical practice to diagnose various somatic dysfunctions. At the same time, studies confirming the objective existence of the phenomenon of functional muscle hypotonia do not fully describe its features. In particular, this concerns the
electromyographic characteristics of muscle contraction in a state of normotonia and hypotension.
The article is devoted to the study of interference curves taken during the manual muscle test.
