Change of MR diffusion property during Active Muscle Contraction in the Calf
نویسندگان
چکیده
These are the graphs of the diffusion property change due to planter flexion of the right ankle joint. White bars are the right to left ratio of diffusion properties including FA, λ1, λ2, λ3, and ADC at resting state. Gray bars are those at the contraction in GCM (a), and passive elongation in AT (b). In GCM, statistically significant elevations are seen in FA (P<0.05 *), λ1 (P<0.01 **), λ2 (P<0.01 **), and ADC (P<0.01 **). In AT (b), statistically significant descents are seen in λ1 (P<0.05 *), λ2 (P<0.05 *), and ADC (P<0.01 **).

A simple calf muscle ergometer for use in a standard whole-body MR scanner.
A calf muscle ergometer, designed for use in a standard whole-body MR scanner, is described. The instrument allows isotonic or isometric calf muscle exercise over a continuous range of work loads from 0 to individual maximum work output. Work output may be recorded on a strip chart recorder. A sound encoding provides an effective guidance for the subject tested to accurately reproduce his perfo...

Background: The transverse abdominis (TrA) muscle is one of the most important muscles that contribute to the stability of the lumbar spine. Strengthening of trunk muscles that have a significant role in trunk stability is very important in the field of professional sport, sport medicine and rehabilitation of patient with low back pain (LBP). Identifying the exercises that can improve the stren...
متن کاملDifferentiation of active tumor from edematous regions of glioblastoma multiform tumor in diffusion MR images using heterogeneity analysis method
Background: Due to intrinsic heterogeneity of cellular distribution and density within diffusion weighted images (DWI) of glioblastoma multiform (GBM) tumors, differentiation of active tumor and peri-tumoral edema regions within these tumors is challenging. The aim of this paper was to take advantage of the differences among heterogeneity of active tumor and edematous regions within the gliobla...
متن کاملEffect of Ankle Brace on the Activity and Co-Contraction of Ankle Muscles During Single-Leg Landing
Objectives: The results of a few studies about the effects of ankle brace on muscles function during the performance of different tasks are contradictory. Moreover, the effect of brace on the co-contraction of ankle muscles is undiscovered. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of brace usage on the ankle muscles activity and co-contraction during single-leg landing. Methods: Fi...
