FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves recording elasticity modulus and viscosity of musculus rectus femoris of the right and left extremity, determining elasticity modulus asymmetry coefficients from formula KE= min(Er, El), max(Er,El), where Er is the elasticity modulus of the musculus rectus femoris of the right extremity, El is the elasticity modulus of the musculus rectus femoris of the left extremity. Viscosity is calculated from formula KV=min(Vr,Vl), where Vr is the viscosity of the musculus rectus femoris of the right extremity, Vl is the viscosity of the musculus rectus femoris of the left extremity. If KE <0.8 or KE <0.7, leg muscle tonus is evaluated as unsatisfactory. EFFECT: high accuracy of evaluation method.
