The development of the intensity of rigor mortis was monitored in nine groups of rats. The measurements were initiated after 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, and 48 h post mortem (p.m.) and lasted 5-9 h, which ideally should correspond to the usual procedure after the discovery of a corpse. The experiment

Myotonometry has been applied to grade rigor mortis. The myotonometer is a hand-held instrument which gives a mechanical impact against the muscle. The muscle responds with a damped vibration which is registered and treated mathematically. The period and the logarithmic decrement of decay of the vib
