We need to know if there are any tool to assess in-vivo the resistance offered by subcuteneous fat to the pressure exerted by a probe which aims to cause a deformation in the muscular belly (mechanomyography).

The anatomic location of excess body fat has an impact on associated cardiometabolic morbidity, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is more pathogenic than subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). However, VAT or SAT alone provides little information regarding the relative distribution of body fat. We hypothesised that the propensity to store energy in VAT relative to SAT depots may be a correlate of cardiometabolic risk, and tested this hypothesis using the VAT/SAT ratio as a metric of fat distribution.
this may be help you.
