Feasibility of a non-invasive skin biomechanical device for rapid assessment of pediatric dehydration: a case–control study
MyotonPro<sup>®</sup> demonstrated significant differences in selected parameters (right arm oscillation frequency and stiffness), suggesting potential sensitivity to hydration status. However, its overall discriminative ability was limited. Therefore, MyotonPro<sup>®</sup> may serve as a supportive, but not standalone, tool in clinical decision-making for monitoring hydration levels, particularly in primary care and emergency settings.
