Abstract

Background: The current standard for assessing skin sclerosis in chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is based on clinician assessment. The Myoton device offers quantitative measurements of 5 soft tissue properties: stiffness, relaxation time, oscillation frequency, decrement, and creep. Previous studies revealed increased skin stiffness and an ability to differentiate sclerotic from unaffected post-transplant skin. This study further evaluates the diagnostic potential of the 5 properties.
