本研究はヒトの”筋肉の質”について評価し,筋機能や筋肉の硬さなどとの関係について検討します.筋肉の質は超音波断層装置,磁気共鳴映像法あるいは磁気共鳴分光法を用いて,評価し筋肉内部の脂肪や結合組織が多い場合は筋の質が低いと判断します.特に超音波断層装置の弱点としては,深い部分にある筋肉の質を評価する際には,超音波エコーの減衰が生じます.したがって,皮膚表面の近くにある筋肉の白黒度合いと深い部分にある筋肉の白黒度合いを直接比較することはできません.そのため,深い部分にある筋肉のエコーの減衰を数式を用いて補正します.さらにこの数式の補正が妥当であるのか否かを屍体の筋肉を使って直接調べます.
本研究はヒトの”筋の質”について評価し,筋機能や筋の硬さなどとの関係について検討することを目的としている.筋の質は超音波断層装置,磁気共鳴映像法あるいは磁気共鳴分光法を用いて評価することが可能で,筋内部の脂肪や結合組織が多い場合は筋の質が低いと判断する.特に超音波断層装置の弱点としては,深い部分にある筋の質を評価する際には,超音波エコーの減衰が生じる.したがって,皮膚表面の近くにある筋の白黒度合いと深い部分にある筋のそれを直接比較することはできない.そのため,深い部分に位置する筋エコーの減衰を数式を用いて補正することも可能である.さらにこの数式の補正が妥当であるのか否かを屍体の筋を使って直接調べる.
上記の研究課題のうち,今年度は屍体の筋を用いて,表層部の組織がどの程度深層部の筋エコー強度に影響するのかを直接調べた.屍体7体11肢(平均年齢85.1±8.0歳,男性4体,女性3体)における大腿四頭筋を対象に次に示す条件で超音波画像を撮影し,筋エコー強度を求めた.1)皮膚表面から撮影する条件(生体と同様な条件),2)皮下脂肪を取り除いた条件,3)皮下脂肪と大腿直筋を取り除いた条件.その結果,1)の条件では,大腿直筋で69.2±20.3a.u.,中間広筋で67.5±22.0a.u.,2)の条件では,大腿直筋で83.4±15.9a.u.,中間広筋で86.1±23.3a.u.,3)の条件では中間広筋で102.2±21.8a.u.となり,表層の組織を切除するに伴い,筋エコー強度が増加していくことが明らかとなった.すなわち,普段我々が生体で測定している筋エコー強度は表層部の皮下脂肪や表層部にある筋によって減衰したものであることが改めて確認できた.なお,この研究内容はJournal of Ultrasoundに投稿中である.
初年度に一つの実験を終え,論文投稿まで終えられているためおおむね順調に進んでいると判断した.
筋の質と筋のスティフネスとの関係を調べること,および屍体のデータを増やし,筋エコー強度を補正する補正式を導き出すことが今後の課題である.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of triceps brachii (TB) muscle architecture on muscle contraction patterns and neuromuscular activity. Thirteen young men and women exerted isometric muscle strength at 50% and 75% of voluntary elbow extension (MVC) at elbow joint angles of 60, 90, and 120 degrees. As a result, the TB-long head fascicle lengths were significantly shortened at the elbow joint angles of 60 and 90 degrees compared to the rest. Next, we examined the neuromuscular activity of the TB muscles. As a result, the muscle activity of the three TB muscles increased linearly with the exertion of force. From the above results, it was shown that in the human TM muscle, no significant change in muscle architecture or muscle activity was observed with muscle contraction, which is significantly different from the result of the quadriceps femoris muscle, which is an anti-gravity muscle.

We investigated adolescent athletes with and without low back pain based on sitting posture, waist and flank muscle thickness, muscle echo intensity and inflammation markers. The low back pain group in this study had moderate pain. There were few subjects who complained of chronic pain, and it became clear that there was little risk of recurrence of back pain in the future. There were no significant differences between the low back pain group and the non-back pain group in thoracic spine angle and lumbar spine angle. There were no significant differences between the two groups in trunk muscle thickness and muscle echo intensity. These results suggest that the low back pain group in this study had usually non-chronic low back pain within 12 weeks, and that there were no quantitative and qualitative changes in posture and muscle characteristics such as quality and quantity.
