    Hiroshi Akuzawa, Tsuyoshi Morito, Tomoki Oshikawa, Yu Okubo, Simon Brumagne, Koji Kaneoka

    Motor control     1 - 13  2024.06  [International journal]

     View Summary

    Functional independence of the transversus abdominis (TrA) from other trunk muscles for postural control is still unclear. This study aimed to clarify the specific function of the TrA to control standing posture by vibratory stimulation of the triceps surae. Fifteen men participated in this study. Muscle activity of the TrA, internal oblique, lumbar multifidus, gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior was measured using fine-wire and surface electrodes. Participants were asked to maintain a quiet standing posture with and without vibration of the triceps surae, which induced a kinesthetic illusion and the concomitant backward sway of the body. The muscle activity of each muscle for 10 s was extracted with and without vibration. The muscle activity levels were compared between the conditions by a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The activity of the TrA and rectus femoris was increased, whereas the internal oblique showed no change as a result of the induced kinesthetic illusion. In addition, the activity of the multifidus and biceps femoris was decreased. The TrA and rectus femoris could contribute to control the backward sway of the body. Furthermore, the TrA may have functional independence from the internal oblique during standing postural control. These results warrant further study in patients with low back pain.

    Koji Murofushi, Sho Mitomo, Kenji Hirohata, Hidetaka Furuya, Hiroki Katagiri, Koji Kaneoka, Kazuyoshi Yagishita

    Acta medica Okayama   78 ( 3 ) 251 - 258  2024.06  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    There have been few investigations into the effectiveness of thoracic spine exercises for improving thoracic range of motion (ROM) in any plane. This study assessed the effectiveness of two thoracic spine exercises: one in the quadruped position and one in the thoracic standing position. We determined how these exercises affect thoracic spine mobility ROM over a 2-week intervention period. Thirty-nine healthy participants were enrolled and assigned to a Quadruped Thoracic Rotation group (n=17 participants: 9 females and 8 males) or Flamenco Thoracic Spine Rotation group (n=22: 14 females and 8 males). All participants were administered a KOJI AWARENESSTM screening test, and the initial thoracic spine ROM before intervention exercise was measured in a laboratory setting. Quadruped Thoracic Rotation was performed as the quadruped exercise and Flamenco Thoracic Spine Rotation as the standing exercise. The KOJI AWARENESSTM thoracic spine test and ROM were evaluated on the day after the first exercise session and again after the program. Despite their different approaches to thoracic mobility, the quadruped exercise and standing exercise achieved equivalent improvement in thoracic ROM after 2 weeks. Practitioners have a range of exercise options for enhancing thoracic mobility based on their environmental or task-specific needs.

    Koji Murofushi, Tsuyoshi Morito, Hiroshi Akuzawa, Tomoki Oshikawa, Yu Okubo, Koji Kaneoka, Sho Mitomo, Kazuyoshi Yagishita

    Frontiers in Sports and Active Living   6   1343888 - 1343888  2024.03  [International journal]

     View Summary

    Introduction

    Core stability is crucial for preventing and rehabilitating lumbar spine injuries. An external focus instruction using a paper balloon is an effective way to activate the trunk muscles. However, the degree of trunk and lower extremity muscle activation during single leg stance with external focus instruction using a paper balloon is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the core muscle involving activity in the trunk and lower extremities on both the support and non-support sides with or without using external focus instruction using a paper balloon during isometric single-leg stance.

    Methods

    Thirteen healthy males aged 20–28 years volunteered to take part in this study and performed a single leg stance task with and without an external focus instruction, pressing their non-supporting foot onto a paper balloon without crushing it. The participant's muscle electrical activity was recorded during the single leg task using surface EMG and intramuscular EMG for six trunk muscles (transversus abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique, rectus abdominis, multifidus, and lumbar erector spinae) and five lower extremity muscles (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, adductor longus, rectus femoris, and biceps femoris)

    Results

    Compared to the normal single leg stance, the external focus instruction task using a paper balloon showed significantly increased transversus abdominis (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), internal oblique (p = 0.001, p < 0.001), external oblique (p = 0.002, p = 0.001), rectus abdominal (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), lumbar multifidus (p = 0.001, p < 0.001), lumbar erector spinae (p < 0.001, p = 0.001), adductor longus (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), rectus femoris (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), and biceps femoris (p < 0.010, p < 0.001) muscle activity on the support and non-support sides.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, external focus instruction using a paper balloon significantly activates the trunk and lower extremities muscles on both the support and non-support sides. This finding provides insights for designing programs to improve coordination and balance. The benefits extend to diverse individuals, encompassing athletes, tactical professionals, and the general population, mitigating the risk of injury or falls linked to inadequate lower limb balance.

  • Does scapular dysfunction alter scapular muscles activity and kinematics during swim stroke motion on adolescent swimmers?

    Takao Mise, Takeyasu Kurita, Shohei Kamakari, Hiroshi Akuzawa, Tomoki Oshikawa, Naoto Matsunaga, Koji Kaneoka

    Sports biomechanics     1 - 14  2024.02  [International journal]

     View Summary

    Scapular dyskinesis (SD) indicates dysfunction of the scapular muscle activity during the arm elevation, resulting in altered scapular kinematics. This study examined whether SD alters scapular muscle activity and kinematics during swim stroke motion. Seventeen swimmers (mean age: 13 ± 1 years) were divided into SD (n = 8) and control (n = 9) groups. Scapular muscle activity (the upper, middle, and lower trapezius and the serratus anterior muscle) and kinematics data were collected and time-normalised (0-100%) during swim stroke motion by swim-bench on land. Scapular kinematics were calculated for upward rotation, internal rotation, posterior tilt, and arm elevation angles. To compare patterns of muscle activity and kinematics with and without SD, statistical parametric mapping unpaired t-test was used. The scapular upward rotation angle was decreased in SD compared to control in the 0-10% of the swim stroke phase (p = 0.041, t* = 3.018), and the internal rotation angle was increased in 0-15% of the phase (p = 0.033, t* = 2.994). Scapular posterior tilt and muscle activity showed no significant differences. These results suggested that SD altered scapular upward rotation and internal rotation at the initial phase of the swim stroke motion in adolescent swimmers and might potentially provoke a risk of subacromial impingement.

  • Functional relationship between the foot intrinsic and extrinsic muscles in walking

    Hiroshi Akuzawa, Tsuyoshi Morito, Tomoki Oshikawa, Tsukasa Kumai, Koji Kaneoka

    Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology   71   102781 - 102781  2023.08  [International journal]

     View Summary

    The intrinsic and extrinsic muscles are considered to stabilize the foot and contribute to propulsion during walking. This study aimed to clarify the functional relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic muscles during walking. Thirteen healthy men participated in this study. The muscle activities of the intrinsic muscles (quadratus plantae and abductor hallucis), and the extrinsic muscles (flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior) were measured using fine-wire and surface electromyography during walking. The muscle onset timing after foot contact was calculated and compared among muscles using the one-way ANOVA. The stance phase was divided into early and late braking, and early and late propulsion phases. Muscle activity among phases was compared using repeated-measures ANOVA. The onset time of the abductor hallucis was significantly earlier than those of the flexor digitorum longus and tibialis posterior. The quadratus plantae demonstrated significantly earlier onset than that of the tibialis posterior. In the late propulsion phase, the activity of extrinsic muscles decreased, whereas intrinsic muscles were continuously active. Early activation of the intrinsic muscles may stabilize the foot for efficient torque production by the extrinsic muscles. Furthermore, the intrinsic muscles may contribute to the final push-off after the deactivation of extrinsic muscles.

  • Sacroiliac joint pain increases repositioning error during active straight leg-raising.

    Tsuyoshi Morito, Koji Kaneoka

    European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society   32 ( 6 ) 2042 - 2047  2023.06  [International journal]

     View Summary

    PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the repositioning error (RE) of patients with unilateral sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP) to that of patients with low back pain (LBP) and a healthy control (HC) group. Differences between the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides were also investigated. METHODS: Sixty-six patients with SIJP, LBP, and HC were included in this study. An active straight leg-raising repositioning test (ASLR-Rt) was performed. ASLR was performed three times each on the left and right sides, targeting a set base angle. RE was calculated as the difference between the base angle and the participant's attempt to adjust the target angle. RE was expressed as constant error (CE) and absolute error (AE). RESULTS: The CE of the SIJP group (median [interquartile range]) (6.9 [4.6‒10.4]) was significantly higher than that in the LBP group (3.2 [1.3‒7.1]) and the HC group (2.7 [0.3‒4.6]) (P = 0.009, d = 0.91, P < 0.001, d = 1.30). The AE of the SIJP group (7.3[5.0‒10.4]) was also significantly higher than that in the LBP (3.7[2.8‒7.1]) and HC groups (3.0[1.9‒4.2]) (P = 0.003, d = 1.04; P = 0.001, d = 1.57). Comparing the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides in the SIJP group, the symptomatic side (8.0[6.0‒10.6]) was significantly higher than the asymptomatic side (5.7[3.6‒8.1]) in terms of CE (P = 0.05, d = 0.51). CONCLUSION: Patients with SIJP increased RE during ASLR, which may be related to impaired proprioception and decreased motor control.

  • Comparison of Muscle Coordination During Front Crawl and Backstroke With and Without Swimmer's Shoulder Pain.

    Yuiko Matsuura, Naoto Matsunaga, Hiroshi Akuzawa, Tomoki Oshikawa, Koji Kaneoka

    Sports health   16 ( 1 ) 19417381231166957 - 19417381231166957  2023.04  [International journal]

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain, known as swimmer's shoulder, is the most common injury for swimmers. Studies that have analyzed muscle activity have focused on the shoulder joint. However, the whole-body muscle coordination of swimmers with swimmer's shoulder is not clear, although swimming requires movements of the upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs to obtain propulsive force. This study investigated differences in muscle coordination between swimmers with and without swimmer's shoulder during the front crawl and backstroke using muscle synergy analysis. HYPOTHESIS: Swimmers with swimmer's shoulder have muscle synergies differing from those without it. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4. METHODS: A total of 20 elite swimmers who regularly swam front crawl and backstroke were included (swimmer's shoulder, n = 8; control, n = 12). Muscle synergy data were analyzed using the nonnegative matrix factorization method and compared between groups. RESULTS: For both front crawl and backstroke, there were 2 synergies in the control group and 3 synergies in the swimmer's shoulder group. During recovery, the control group showed coordinated triceps brachii, serratus anterior, upper trapezius, lower trapezius, internal oblique, and external oblique muscles activities; however, in the swimmer's shoulder group, the contribution of the upper limbs decreased and only that of the trunk muscles increased. CONCLUSION: A comparison of muscle coordination during the front crawl and backstroke performed by swimmers with and without swimmer's shoulder revealed that coordination differed during the recovery phase. During both front crawl and backstroke, the swimmer's shoulder group could not maintain coordination with the upper limb when the trunk rolled, and split synergy was formed between the upper limbs and trunk. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Because coordination of the upper limbs and trunk is important during the recovery phase of front crawl and backstroke, swimmer's shoulder rehabilitation should introduce exercises to improve their coordination between the upper limbs and the trunk.

  • Entry phase in men's backward dive pike: association between the shoulder joint and trunk angles.

    Takaya Narita, Yu Okubo, Takamichi Nomura, Koji Kaneoka

    The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness   63 ( 2 ) 292 - 298  2023.02  [International journal]

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: A high prevalence of lower back pain has been observed in competitive divers. Hyperextension of the lumbar vertebrae during water entry is considered the main mechanism behind the incidence of lower back pain in divers. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of the shoulder angle on the entry alignment. METHODS: Posture angles of 13 male drivers (age: 16.8±2.9 years) who were invited to the national training camp in 2012 by Japan Swimming were recorded at the time of water entry via 201B using a high-speed camera. RESULTS: A negative correlation was observed between shoulder joint flexion and trunk extension angles on water entry. In addition, the trunk angle was significantly different between groups. For the lower back pain group, 210.4±5.7°, and in the non-lower back pain group, 199.9±9.0°, angles were observed with a larger extension of the trunk on water entry in the lower back pain group. CONCLUSIONS: The alignment on water entry was associated with the occurrence of lower back pain. Which suggested that enough shoulder flexibility can prevent the incidence of lower back pain.

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction in athletes affects competitiveness. However, the pathology and imaging features have not been clarified. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the association between SIJ pain and MRI findings in high-performance athletes. METHODS: Fifty-two Japanese high-performance athletes with or without SIJ pain were recruited. MRI short tau inversion recovery (STIR) semi-coronal and semi-axial images of their SIJs were taken. The relationships between high-signal changes in MRI-STIR and SIJ pain and pain duration were investigated. Six athletes with continuous SIJ pain were prospectively followed. RESULTS: The proportion of athletes with high-signal changes in the SIJ was significantly higher among athletes with SIJ pain for one month or more (76.9%, 10/13) than among athletes with SIJ pain for less than one month (18.2%, 2/11) and among athletes without SIJ pain (28.6%, 8/28). High-signal changes on painful SIJs were most often present in the sacrum. In three of the six athletes who were prospectively followed, the high-signal area and intensity on MRI both diminished as their symptoms improved. CONCLUSIONS: High-signal changes of the SIJ on MRI-STIR images in high-performance athletes may reflect their SIJ pain.

    The Journal of Medical Investigation   70 ( 1.2 ) 208 - 212  2023  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: The KOJI AWARENESS� screening test is a self-administered screening tool for assessment of mobility, stability, and strength. It provides corrective exercises corresponding to the individual's answers to the KOJI AWARENESS� test questions. However, there is no evidence of the effectiveness of corrective exercises in improving KOJI AWARENESS� screening test scores and activity-related pain. METHODS: Twenty-six healthy subjects (11 female and 15 male ; age 20?50 years) were selected for participation. In a controlled laboratory setting, subjects were administered the KOJI AWARENESS� test and were provided with individualized exercise programs based on the results of this first test. KOJI AWARENESS� results were checked on the first day immediately after the first exercise session, and then again after the two-week program. Pain intensity was also assessed during daily training using a numerical rating scale. RESULTS: Compared to pre-intervention, KOJI AWARENESS� scores were significantly higher immediately after the first corrective exercise session and after 2 weeks of intervention (p<0.001). Moreover, pain intensity was significantly lower after 2 weeks of intervention (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Individualized KOJI AWARENESS� corrective exercises were effective immediately on the first day and also after the two-week program in improving the KOJI AWARENESS� score and reducing pain intensity during daily training.

    Abstract

    Perturbation exercises enhance lower limb and trunk muscles, and adding swing perturbation while loading during exercise might improve muscle activation or strength. This study aimed to check variations in trunk and lower limb muscle activity during conventional isometric squats, and whether it will change with or without swing using the Hammerobics-synchronized squat method. Twelve healthy men participated in this study. Activities for the abductor hallucis, tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus longus, rectus femoris, biceps femoris long head, semitendinosus, gluteus maximus, multifidus, and internal oblique muscles were measured using surface electromyography during a Hammerobics-synchronized squat and conventional isometric squat. Muscle activities were statistically compared between squat methods. Hammerobics-synchronized squats significantly activated the abductor hallucis, tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus longus, semitendinosus, and multifidus muscles, in both phases, compared with the conventional isometric squats. The Hammerobics-synchronized squat exercise can be considered for trunk and foot stability exercise.

    <title>Abstract</title><sec>
    <title>Background</title>
    Medial tibial stress syndrome is a common sports related injury. Altered foot kinematics can be a risk factor for the injury. Since foot segments can move independently, intersegment coordination is important for proper foot function. This study aimed to compare the foot intersegmental coordination pattern and single segment kinematics between female lacrosse players with and without a history of medial tibial stress syndrome during drop jump.


    </sec><sec>
    <title>Methods</title>
    Twelve players with a medial tibial stress syndrome history and 12 players with no history were enrolled. Foot kinematics, including angle at landing and peak angle and excursion at the rearfoot, midfoot, and forefoot during single-leg drop jumps were analysed. Each segment motion data from landing to leaping was time-scaled to 100% to analyse the intersegmental coordination with a modified vector coding technique. Instant intersegmental coordination of every 1% was classified into four patterns (in-phase, two segments rotate in the same direction with similar amplitudes; anti-phase, two segments rotate in opposite directions; proximal phase, proximal segment dominantly rotates in the same direction compared to the distal segment; and distal phase, distal segment dominantly rotates in the same direction compared to the proximal segment). The percentage of intersegmental coordination pattern and kinematics in each segment were compared between the groups using the Student’s t test.


    </sec><sec>
    <title>Results</title>
    Groups with a history of medial stress syndrome showed a significantly higher percentage of proximal phase between the rearfoot and midfoot in the sagittal (Mean ± SD; history, 52.2 ± 17.9%, no history, 29.3 ± 16.7%; <italic>p</italic> = 0.004) and coronal planes (history, 40.3 ± 22.0%, no history, 15.9 ± 9.1%; <italic>p</italic> = 0.004). Dorsiflexion excursion (history, 34.5 ± 4.5°, no history, 29.6 ± 2.1°; <italic>p</italic> = 0.003) were significantly larger in a history of medial tibial stress syndrome group compared to no history group.


    </sec><sec>
    <title>Conclusions</title>
    Rearfoot dominant motion pattern relative to the midfoot may be related to medial tibial stress syndrome. Intersegmental coordination analysis may be useful for detecting abnormal foot coordination patterns. Also, stabilization for the rearfoot may be required rather than the midfoot for intervention.

  • The Influence of Anticipation of Movement Starting Time on Feedforward Activation of Trunk Muscles During Rapid Shoulder Joint Movements

    Tomoki Oshikawa, Gen Adachi, Hiroshi Akuzawa, Yu Okubo, Koji Kaneoka

    Journal of Human Kinetics   84 ( 1 ) 43 - 52  2022.11  [International journal]

     View Summary

    Abstract

    This study aimed to clarify the differences in the onset of trunk muscle activity with and without anticipation of the movement starting time during rapid shoulder movements. Ten healthy men in a relaxed upright position performed rapid 135° flexion, 135° abduction, and 45° extension of the shoulder on the dominant hand side with and without anticipation of the movement starting time. They moved their shoulder joints following a 3-s countdown and a light stimulus in the anticipation and non-anticipation conditions, respectively. Electromyography of the anterior and posterior quadratus lumborum, transversus abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique, rectus abdominis, lumbar multifidus, lumbar erector spinae on the non-dominant hand side, and the middle deltoid on the dominant hand side were measured. The onset of activity of each trunk muscle relative to the onset of the middle deltoid was calculated. Two-way analysis of variance (eight trunk muscles × two anticipation conditions) was used to compare the onset of electromyographic activity of the trunk muscles in each direction of the shoulder movement. There were significant interactions between the muscles and anticipation conditions during shoulder abduction and extension. The onset of activity in the anterior and posterior quadratus lumborum, transversus abdominis, and internal oblique occurred earlier with anticipation of the movement starting time than without anticipation during shoulder abduction and extension. The anticipation of movement starting time may contribute to a reliable center of mass control within the support base and improve lumbar spine stability by hastening the onset of activity of the deep trunk muscles.

  • Muscle Activity During Scapular Muscle Exercises With Multijoint Compound Movement: Analysis Using Fine-Wire and Surface Electrodes

    Gen Adachi, Tomoki Oshikawa, Hiroshi Akuzawa, Koji Kaneoka

    Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine   10 ( 11 ) 232596712211321 - 232596712211321  2022.11  [International journal]

     View Summary

    Background:

    Improvements in motor control of the scapular muscles are important for the prevention and rehabilitation of shoulder and elbow injuries in overhead athletes.

    Purpose:

    To clarify scapular muscle activity during multijoint compound movement exercises using fine-wire and surface electrodes.

    Study Design:

    Descriptive laboratory study.

    Methods:

    Sixteen healthy men performed 5 types of exercises (cat and dog, trunk rotation, A-exercise, T-exercise, and Y-exercise). Muscle activity was measured as percentage of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (%MVIC) by using fine-wire electrodes in the rhomboid major (Rhom) and using surface electrodes in the upper (UT), middle (MT), and lower (LT) trapezius and serratus anterior (SA) muscles. The Rhom/UT, MT/UT, LT/UT, and SA/UT muscle activity ratios were calculated. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the %MVIC and muscle activity ratios between exercises.

    Results:

    There was no significant difference in Rhom activity between the exercises (34.6-54.2%MVIC; P = .25). LT activity was significantly greater in the trunk rotation (58.0 ± 24.6%MVIC) and Y-exercise (63.2 ± 40.1%MVIC) than in the cat and dog scapular retraction (19.6 ± 9.3%MVIC) and A-exercise (28.2 ± 14.2%MVIC) ( P &lt; .05). SA activity was significantly greater in the cat and dog scapular protraction (26.7 ± 11.0%MVIC) and Y-exercise (25.6 ± 19.3%MVIC) than in the other exercises ( P &lt; .05). The SA/UT activity ratio in the cat and dog scapular protraction exercise (9.64 ± 8.48) was significantly higher than in the other exercises ( P &lt; .05).

    Conclusion:

    All the exercises were effective for activating the Rhom. The trunk rotation and Y-exercise were effective for activating the LT, and the cat and dog scapular protraction exercise was effective for activating the SA while suppressing the UT.

    Clinical Relevance:

    These results enable exercise selection based on muscle activity characteristics (moderate [20%-50%MVIC] and high [&gt;50%MVIC] levels contribute to muscle activation) to prevent and rehabilitate shoulder and elbow injuries.

    Abstract

    This study aimed to investigate whether muscle synergy differs between swimmers with and without swimmer's shoulder in the butterfly technique. Muscle synergies, which can assess muscle coordination, were analyzed using surface electromyography. Twenty elite swimmers were included in this study (swimmer's shoulder: n = 8; control: n = 12). The motions involved in executing the butterfly technique were classified into the early pull-through, late pull-through, and recovery phases. Muscle synergy data analyzed using the nonnegative matrix factorization method were compared between the two groups.

    The swimming velocities were 1.66 ± 0.09 m・s −1 and 1.69 ± 0.06 m・s −1 for the control and swimmer's shoulder groups, respectively. Four muscle synergies in both groups were identified: synergy #1, which was involved in the early pull; synergy #2, involved in the late pull; synergy #3, involved in the early recovery; and synergy #4, involved in pre- and posthand entry. Compared to the control group, the swimmer's shoulder group had a small contribution from the pectoralis major (p = 0.032) and a high contribution from the rectus femoris during the early pull phase (p = 0.036). In the late pull phase, the contribution of the lower trapezius muscle in the swimmer's shoulder group was low (p = 0.033), while the contribution of the upper trapezius muscle in the pre- and postentry phases was high (p = 0.032). In the rehabilitation of athletes with swimmer's shoulder, it is therefore important to introduce targeted muscle rehabilitation in each phase.

    Miwako Suzuki-Yamanaka, Mamoru Ayusawa, Yuri Hosokawa, Norikazu Hirose, Koji Kaneoka

    Journal of science and medicine in sport   25 ( 9 ) 705 - 709  2022.09  [International journal]

     View Summary

    OBJECTIVES: To examine the incidence and survival rates of sudden cardiac arrest that were documented during school organized sports in Japan. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: Insurance claim data of cardiac events (sudden cardiac death and sudden cardiac arrest with resultant disabilities) that occurred during Japanese high school organized sports between 2009 and 2018 were retrieved. Participation data from All Japan High School Athletic Federation and Japan High School Baseball Federation were used for incidence rate calculations. Incidence rate ratios with 95 % confidence interval were calculated to compare the risk by sports and sex. The survival rate was calculated with the proportion of resuscitated cases to total number of cardiac events in this dataset. RESULTS: A total of 55 cardiac events (25 survivors and 30 deceased) were identified in the dataset. The majority affected male student-athletes (92.7 %). The frequency and incidence rate of cardiac events were highest in male baseball (n = 16 [29.1 %], incidence rate: 0.91 per 100,000 athlete-years). Incidence rate ratio revealed that male basketball (2.19, 95 % confidence interval: 1.04-4.60), male baseball (2.31, 95 % confidence interval: 1.32-4.03), and first-year male baseball (4.11, 95 % confidence interval: 2.10-8.07) had significantly higher risk of cardiac events, compared to the overall incidence rate (0.38 per 100,000 athlete-years). The survival rates were 37.5 % in the first half (2009-2013) and 56.5 % in the latter half (2014-2018) of the study period. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of cardiac events was highest in male, baseball, first-year student-athletes. Rapid AED application by bystanders should be advocated to enhance better survival.

    Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation   18 ( 4 ) 264 - 271  2022.08  [International journal]

     View Summary

    Draw-in is a promising intervention for regaining isolated control of the transverse abdominis (TrA). Exercises to stimulate isolated contractions are needed; however, the appropriate methods are unclear. The objectives of this study were to examine how the muscle activity and muscle activity ratio of abdominal muscles change with various verbal instructions and to determine the onset of the abdominal muscles during drawin. The participants were 21 healthy men. TrA electromyography was performed using fine-wire electrodes, and the internal oblique (IO), external oblique (EO), and rectus abdominis (RA) were determined using surface electrodes. The participants performed seven abdominal exercises according to verbal instructions and isolated voluntary contraction of the TrA for more than 5 sec. The TrA showed higher activity in bracing. IO and EO activities were highest in bracing, whereas RA showed the highest activity in maximum bracing. TrA/IO and TrA/EO were not significantly different between conditions. The results of the onset activity analysis of the abdominal muscles during the draw-in maneuver showed that the TrA was significantly earlier than the other muscles. The activity ratios of TrA to IO and EO were highly individualized and did not differ according to the verbal instruction. Maximum draw-in showed more significant IO activity, and bracing showed co-contraction of the superficial and deep abdominal muscles. During draw-in, the TrA initiated the earliest activity among the abdominal muscles and then isolated activity for 1.1 sec.

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: Trunk muscle activity during isometric exercise is altered by external-focus instruction. OBJECTIVE: To check alterations in trunk muscle activity during side plank exercise both with and without instructions to refrain from crushing an item (external-focus instruction method). METHODS: Twenty-one healthy men aged 20–49 participated in this study. Ten trunk muscle activities were measured using surface electromyography during side plank exercises both with and without external-focus instruction. The unpaired t-test or Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare differences between exercise tasks and between sides. RESULTS: Side plank exercise with external-focus instruction increased activity of the upper trapezius, lower trapezius, latissimus dorsi, medial head of the triceps, and internal oblique on the supported side when compared with that without external-focus instruction (p&lt; 0.05 for all). On the unsupported side, side plank exercise with external-focus instruction significantly increased activity of the upper trapezius, lower trapezius, latissimus dorsi, medial head of the triceps, clavicular part of the pectoralis major serratus anterior, external oblique, rectus abdominis, internal oblique, and multifidus when compared with that without external-focus instruction (p&lt; 0.001 for all). CONCLUSIONS: Adding the external-focus instruction method to the conventional side plank exercise may be effective in increasing the trunk muscles’ activity.

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: External focus isometric exercises using a paper balloon can change trunk muscle activation in the chest squeeze; however, it is unknown whether this method affects muscle activities in conventional exercises. OBJECTIVE: To check variations of trunk muscle activity during front plank (static task) and shoulder press (dynamic task) both with and without instruction to avoid crushing an object. METHODS: Twenty-six healthy adult males aged 19–49 were recruited. Ten trunk muscle activities were measured using surface electromyography during a front plank and dynamic shoulder press exercises, both with and without external-focus instruction. RESULTS: Adding the external-focus using the paper balloon to the front plank significantly activated 8 out of the 10 muscles. In the downward shoulder press, 5 out of 10 muscles with 50% 1 RM, 2 out of 10 muscles with 100% 1 RM were significantly activated. CONCLUSIONS: Adding external-focus instruction using paper-balloon increases trunk muscles in front plank and shoulder press while possibly improving trunk stability. Novel exercises using paper balloon may efficiently activate specific muscles without external loading thus possibly reducing the stress on the involved joints during exercise.

  • Characteristics of the Kicking Motion in Adolescent Male Soccer Players Who Develop Osgood-Schlatter Disease: A Prospective Study.

    Seira Takei, Shuji Taketomi, Suguru Torii, Michio Tojima, Koji Kaneoka, Sakae Tanaka

    Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine   10 ( 3 ) 23259671221083567 - 23259671221083567  2022.03  [International journal]

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND: Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is an apophysitis of the tibial tubercle caused by repeated traction of the patellar tendon during adolescence. Although OSD is associated more with sports such as soccer, it remains unclear whether the kicking motion itself is related to OSD onset. PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the kicking motion in adolescent soccer players who later developed OSD. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study. METHODS: The authors observed 47 Japanese adolescent male soccer players (mean age, 12 years) over 6 months in 2018-2019; none of the participants had OSD at study onset. The players underwent tibial tubercle ultrasound at baseline, and their kicking motion was evaluated using 3-dimensional (3D) motion analysis with 65 reflective markers. The 3D angle of the lumbar spine, thorax, and pelvis and the angular velocity of the hips, knees, and ankles were calculated for the support leg. The kicking motion was divided into 8 phases, and ball speed, kicking time, and positions of the support (nonkicking) leg and center of mass (COM) from the ball were calculated for each phase. Six months later, the players underwent another ultrasound and were divided into 2 groups: those diagnosed with OSD in the support leg (OSD group) and those without OSD (normal [NRL] group). All factors calculated using the kicking motion analysis at the baseline were compared between groups. RESULTS: There were 19 players in the OSD group and 28 players in the NRL group. Anthropometric measurements, ball speed, and kicking time were similar between the 2 groups. The forward translation of the COM and the support leg, the flexion angle of the thorax, and the rotation angle of the pelvis before impact with the ball were all significantly smaller in the OSD group than in the NRL group (P < .05). Moreover, the knee extension angular velocity of the support leg was significantly larger in the OSD group (P < .05) at ball impact. CONCLUSION: A kicking motion with small COM translation, small thoracic flexion, and small pelvic rotation before ball impact, as well as large knee extension angular velocity of the support leg at ball impact, may be associated with OSD onset.

    The Journal of Medical Investigation   69 ( 1.2 ) 45 - 50  2022  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    This study aimed to clarify the changes in the activity of the trunk and lower limb muscles during 2000-m rowing. Ten male rowers performed a 2000-m race simulation on a rowing ergometer. Electromyography results of the abdominal muscles, back muscles, gluteus maximus (GMax), biceps femoris (BF), and rectus femoris (RF) were recorded. The electromyographic activity during the three strokes after the start (initial stage), at 1000m (middle stage), and before the end (final stage) were analyzed. From the handle position, the rowing motion was divided into five phases (early-drive, middle-drive, late-drive, early-recovery, and late-recovery). The peak activities of the abdominal muscles, back muscles, GMax, and BF in each stroke of the rowing motion were delayed at the middle and final stages compared to the initial stage (P<0.05). The peak activity of the RF was observed in the late-drive phase at the initial stage, whereas a high RF activity was observed in the middle-drive phase at the middle and final stages (P<0.05). Considering the results of the activity of the back muscles and RF, RF muscular endurance enhancement may lead to a decrease in the load on the back muscles and help prevent muscular low back pain in rowers.

    The Journal of Medical Investigation   69 ( 3.4 ) 204 - 216  2022  [Refereed]  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    Background : Various musculoskeletal screening and functional performance tests are used to evaluate physical condition. However, validated analysis tools that can identify gaps in pain knowledge during athletes' daily training are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pain intensity in athletes during their daily training and the KOJI AWARENESS™ test in order to determine whether body dysfunction is related to pain among athletes. Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted in a fitness center at the authors' affiliated institution. Thirty-five athletes (17 women and 18 men) aged 20-40 years were selected for study participation. KOJI AWARENESS™ self-evaluated test scores and pain intensity during daily training, as assessed on the numerical rating scale (NRS), were recorded. Results : The KOJI AWARENESS™ score showed a strong negative correlation with the NRS score for pain intensity during daily training (r = -0.640, P < 0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between KOJI AWARENESS™ and NRS scores, even when body mass index, sex, and age were entered as control variables. Conclusions : KOJI AWARENESS™ was highly accurate in detecting pain in athletes during their training. J. Med. Invest. 69 : 204-216, August, 2022.

    Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology   61   102605 - 102605  2021.09  [International journal]

     View Summary

    This study aimed to clarify the differences in electromyographic activity between the quadratus lumborum anterior (QL-a) and posterior layers (QL-p), and the relationship among trunk muscles and gluteus medius (GMed) activities during forward landing. Thirteen healthy men performed double-leg and single-leg (ipsilateral or contralateral sides as the electromyography measurement of trunk muscles) forward landings from a 30 cm-height-box. The onset of electromyographic activity in pre-landing and the electromyographic amplitude of the unilateral QL-a, QL-p, abdominal muscles, lumbar multifidus (LMF), erector spinae (LES), and bilateral GMed were recorded. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare the onset of electromyographic activity (3 landing leg conditions × 10 muscles) and electromyographic amplitude among (3 landing leg conditions × 2 phases). The onset of QL-p was significantly earlier in contralateral-leg landing than in the double-leg and ipsilateral-leg landings. The onset of LMF and LES was significantly earlier than that of the abdominal muscles in contralateral-leg landing. QL-p activity and GMed activity on the contralateral leg side in the pre-landing were significantly higher in contralateral-leg landing than in the other leg landings. To prepare for pelvic and trunk movements after ground contact, LMF, LES, QL-p on non-support leg side, and GMed on support leg side showed early or high feedforward activation before ground contact during single-leg forward landing.

    Journal of sport rehabilitation     1 - 7  2021.09  [International journal]

     View Summary

    CONTEXT: The range of shoulder rotation is associated with shoulder pain in young male and female swimmers. However, the association between shoulder pain and shoulder complex mobility of the scapulothoracic and acromioclavicular joints has not yet been examined. Moreover, shoulder pain occurs more frequently in females than in males, but only a few studies have examined the relationship between shoulder pain and sex as a risk factor. This study aims to determine the association between shoulder complex mobility and shoulder pain in young male and female swimmers. DESIGN: Prospective cohort design. METHODS: The participants were competitive swimmers (n = 76; 37 males and 39 females) with a mean age of 14 years in Japan. The shoulder rotation width, which was the index of shoulder complex mobility, shoulder internal and external rotation range, and middle finger distance of the back-scratch test were measured. An examiner regularly visited the swimming clubs to evaluate the development of shoulder pain and swimming distance. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the physical characteristics related to the overall development of shoulder pain in both female and male swimmers. The cutoff value was calculated using receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS: Sixteen participants, composed of 8 males and 8 females, developed shoulder pain. The overall swimming distance of the male (odds ratio [OR]: 1.0007, P = .01) and female (OR: 1.0018, P = .02) swimmers and the shoulder rotation width of the male (OR: 1.0952, P = .04) and female (OR: 0.888, P = .03) swimmers were identified as risk factors for shoulder pain. The cutoff value for swimming distance was 6000 m. Shoulder rotation width was more than 88 cm in males and <54 cm in females. CONCLUSIONS: Hypomobility and hypermobility of the shoulder complex were identified as risk factors for shoulder pain in male and female swimmers, respectively.

  • Epidemiology of sports-related fatalities during organized school sports in Japanese high schools between 2009 and 2018

    Miwako Suzuki Yamanaka, Yuri Hosokawa, Mamoru Ayusawa, Norikazu Hirose, Koji Kaneoka

    PLOS ONE   16 ( 8 ) e0256383 - e0256383  2021.08

     View Summary

    Limited literature has investigated epidemiology of sports-related fatalities during high school organizes sports in Japan. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to determine the frequency and incidence rate of sports-related fatalities in Japanese high schools by cause and sports, and to examine the type of on-site first responder. Insurance claim data of sports-related fatalities in Japanese high schools reported to Japan Sports Council Injury and Accident Mutual Aid Benefit System between 2009 and 2018 were retrieved as the primary data source. All fatalities were classified into direct or indirect type by the reported etiology and further categorized into cardiac-related, head and neck injury, exertional heat stroke (EHS), or other. Frequency and incidence rate were calculated by cause of death and sports, and incidence rates were expressed per 100,000 athlete-years (AY) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Information regarding first responder to the incident was also retrieved and examined by frequency. A total of 63 sports-related fatalities were analyzed. The overall incidence rate was 0.45 (95%CI = 0.25–0.65) per 100,000AY. The incidence rates of direct and indirect fatalities declined from 0.36 and 0.50 per 100,000AY to 0.28 and 0.00 per 100,000AY, respectively. The leading cause of deaths was cardiac-related (n = 30/63, 47.6%), followed by head and neck injury (n = 15/63, 23.8%) and EHS (n = 14/63, 22.2%). The number of fatalities was highest in male baseball (n = 12/63, 19.0%) and the incidence rate was highest in male judo (4.79 per 100,000 AY, 95%CI: 0.68–8.15). Coach was the most frequently reported first responder onsite (n = 52/63, 82.5%). Medically trained personnel were involved in onsite care in two cases (3.2%). In conclusion, the occurrence of sports-related fatalities has declined over time from 2009 to 2018. To deliver appropriate medical care onsite for better survival, employment of medically trained personnel should be promoted in high school sports setting in Japan.

     View Summary

    &lt;p&gt;Trunk stabilization exercises improve injury prevention and performance, but the effect of deep trunk muscle training for underwater competitive performance and posture has not been clarified. If trunk stability can be obtained immediately after trunk stabilization exercises, such exercises may lead to performance improvements during underwater swimming and improve lumbar lordosis alignment during swim motions. The purpose of this study was to clarify the immediate effects of deep trunk muscle training on lumbar lordosis angle and swimming speed in underwater motion. The trial examined underwater motion before and after two different types and intensities of trunk stabilization exercises (low-intensity and high-intensity). Underwater motion was observed with an underwater high-speed camera placed 7.5 m from the pool wall, while lumbar lordosis angle was measured from the angle formed by markers affixed to the Th12, L3, and S1. During the glide swim, dolphin kick, and flutter kick trials, the maximum lumbar lordosis angle was calculated. Lumbar lordosis angle and swimming speed were calculated before and after two different intensities of trunk exercise interventions. There were significant differences in lumbar lordosis angle after both exercises during all three underwater motions. The high-intensity intervention elicited a significantly lower lumbar lordosis angle during glide swim, dolphin kick, and flutter kick, while swimming velocity was also improved during glide swim and flutter kick (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05). Performing trunk exercise before practice or competition may help improve competition performance by reducing underwater resistance.&lt;/p&gt;

     View Summary

    © 2018 The Society of Physical Therapy Science. [Purpose] To measure electromyographic activity of the piriformis using fine-wire electrodes during 7 hip movements. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven healthy men, without severe low back pain or lower limb injury, participated in this study. Fine-wire electrodes were inserted into the piriformis and surface electrodes were attached to the muscles in the hip region and the trunk muscles on the dominant arm side. Electromyographic signal amplitude was measured during 7 hip movements: side-lying external rotation in hip neutral position, side-lying abduction in hip neutral position, side-lying abduction in hip external rotation, side-lying abduction in hip internal rotation, prone extension in hip neutral position, prone extension in hip external rotation, and prone extension in hip internal rotation. Repeated-measures one-way analysis of variance was used to examine electromyographic activity in each of the 7 hip movements. [Results] Piriformis electromyographic activity was highest during prone hip extension in external rotation. Both the superior and inferior portions of the gluteus maximus were also highly activated during prone hip extension in external rotation. [Conclusion] Prone hip extension in external rotation induced high electromyographic activity in the piriformis and superior and inferior gluteus maximus muscles.

     View Summary

    STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study, with a pretest-posttest design.
    BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted imaging is a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging technique that can be used to assess the recruitment of the psoas major (PM) and quadratus lumborum (QL). The recruitment of these muscles during trunk exercises has not been evaluated.
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diffusion of water movement in several trunk muscles using diffusion-weighted imaging before and after specific trunk exercises and thereby to understand the level of recruitment of each muscle during each exercise.
    METHODS: Nine healthy male participants performed the right side bridge, knee raise, and 3 front bridges, including the hand-knee, elbow-knee, and elbow-toe bridges. Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed before and after each exercise. After scanning, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map was constructed, and ADC values of the rectus abdominis, lateral abdominal muscles, QL, PM, and back muscles were calculated.
    RESULTS: The right PM following the elbow-toe bridge demonstrated the largest increase in ADC values, a change significantly greater than that demonstrated by the hand-knee bridge (P&lt;.001) and side bridge (P =.002) exercises. The ADC change in the right QL following the side bridge exercise was significantly larger than that of other exercises (P&lt;.008).
    CONCLUSION: Of the 5 exercises investigated, the elbow-toe bridge and side bridge exercises elicit the greatest recruitment of the PM and QL, respectively.

    [Purpose] The purpose of the study was to assess the muscle activity change of the tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and peroneus longus during gait with orthoses. [Subjects and Methods] Sixteen healthy males participated in this study. Activity of each muscle was measured by using fine-wire and surface electromyography. Gait task was performed by the participants barefoot, with footwear and with orthoses. The electromyography data from a stance phase of each gait trial were used for analysis. The stance phase was divided into contact, midstance, and propulsion phases. The data from ten participants were extracted for final analysis, as electromyography measurements were unsuccessful for the other six. [Results] The results demonstrated that orthoses significantly reduced the tibialis posterior muscle activity in the propulsion phase compared to that in the barefoot condition. Although there was a significant difference in the midstance phase, post hoc analysis did not indicate significant differences among the phases. No significant electromyography amplitude change was detected in flexor digitorum longus and peroneus longus. [Conclusion] Orthothes reduced the tibialis posterior activity level during gait. This result may be beneficial for patients with injuries related to excessive activity of tibialis posterior.

     View Summary

    Background Injury and illness surveillance in the aquatic disciplines has been conducted during the FINA World Championships and Olympic Games. The development of an aquatic-specific injury and illness surveillance system will improve the quality of the data collected and the development of preventive measures. Our ultimate objective is to enhance aquatic athlete health and performance.
    Objective The objective was to refine the injury and illness surveillance protocols to develop aquatic-specific definitions of injury and illness; define aquatic-specific injury location and causation; better describe overuse injuries; regard pre-existing and recurrent injuries; more accurately define aquatic athlete exposures and develop a protocol to capture out-of-competition aquatic athlete health parameters.
    Methods FINA compiled an Injury and Illness Surveillance Expert Working Group comprised of international experts to review the scientific literature in the field. A consensus meeting was convened to provide an opportunity for debate, following which recommendations were collated.
    Results Aquatic-specific injury and illness surveillance protocols covering both the in-competition and out-of-competition time periods were developed. Definitions for all relevant variables were outlined, and documentation forms for athletes and for clinicians were proposed. Recommendations for the implementation of an injury and illness surveillance system for FINA are presented.
    Conclusion The FINA consensus authors recommend ongoing in-competition and out-of-competition surveillance to determine injury and illness trends over time. The implementation of the definitions and methodology outlined in this paper will improve the accuracy and value of injury and illness surveillance, and provide important information for injury prevention.

    Journal of Medical Investigation   63 ( 1-2 ) 85 - 90  2016.04

     View Summary

    Objectives: To ascertain the dynamic stretch effects of flexibility of the hamstrings on lumbar spine and pelvic kinematics. Background: Tight hamstrings are positively correlated with low back pain. However, it is unclear how flexibility of the hamstrings affects spino-pelvic rhythm. Methods: Twelve healthy men participated in the study. The straight leg raising (SLR) angle, finger floor distance (FFD), and spino-pelvic rhythm was measured before and after the 6-week stretching protocol. The forward bending task was divided into 4 phases. The paired t-test was used to determine significant differences before and after the FFD, SLR angle, lumbar motion, and pelvic motion, and spino-pelvic rhythm in each phase (p 0.05). Results: After 6 weeks of stretching, significant improvements were seen in the FFD with maximum forward bending and in the SLR angle. Total pelvic rotation was also significantly increased in contrast to total lumbar flexion. A decreased spino-pelvic ratio was seen in the final phase. Conclusion: Dynamic stretching could change the spino-pelvic rhythm to a pelvis-dominant motion, indicating that flexible hamstrings are important for preventing low back pain.

     View Summary

    © 2016 the American Physiological Society. Despite numerous attempts to discover genetic variants associated with elite athletic performance, injury predisposition, and elite/world-class athletic status, there has been limited progress to date. Past reliance on candidate gene studies predominantly focusing on genotyping a limited number of single nucleotide polymorphisms or the insertion/deletion variants in small, often heterogeneous cohorts (i.e., made up of athletes of quite different sport specialties) have not generated the kind of results that could offer solid opportunities to bridge the gap between basic research in exercise sciences and deliverables in biomedicine. A retrospective view of genetic association studies with complex disease traits indicates that transition to hypothesis-free genome-wide approaches will be more fruitful. In studies of complex disease, it is well recognized that the magnitude of genetic association is often smaller than initially anticipated, and, as such, large sample sizes are required to identify the gene effects robustly. A symposium was held in Athens and on the Greek island of Santorini from 14 -17 May 2015 to review the main findings in exercise genetics and genomics and to explore promising trends and possibilities. The symposium also offered a forum for the development of a position stand (the Santorini Declaration). Among the participants, many were involved in ongoing collaborative studies (e.g., ELITE, GAMES, Gene SMART, GENESIS, and POWERGENE). A consensus emerged among participants that it would be advantageous to bring together all current studies and those recently launched into one new large collaborative initiative, which was subsequently named the Athlome Project Consortium.

     View Summary

    The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of trunk stabilization exercise (SE) and conventional trunk exercise (CE) programs on jump performance. 13 adolescent male soccer players performed 2 kinds of jump testing before and immediate after 3 experimental conditions: SE, CE, and non-exercise (NE). The SE program consisted of the elbow-toe, hand-knee, and back bridge, and the CE program consisted of the sit-up, sit-up with trunk rotation and back extension. Testing of a countermovement jump (CMJ) and rebound jump (RJ) were performed to assess jump performance. Jump height of the CMJ and RJ-index, contact time, and jump height of the RJ were analyzed. The RJ index was improved significantly only after SE (p=0.017). However, contact time and jump height did not improve significantly in the SE condition. Moreover, no significant interaction or main effects of time or group were observed in the CMJ. Consequently, this study showed the different immediate effect on the RJ between the SE and CE, and suggested the possibility that the SE used in this study is useful as a warm-up program to improve the explosive movements.

    【はじめに,目的】水球競技は,2m以上の水深がある足がつかない水中環境において行われ,投球動作,泳動作のみではなく,水中での激しい身体接触が多く,数あるスポーツの中でも1試合あたりのエネルギー消費量が最も多いと言われるほど過酷な競技である。それ故,身体のリコンディショニングのみではなく,外傷への対応など,トレーナーが対応するべき局面は幅広い。今回,2015年7月26日から8月5日にロシア・カザン にて開催された第16回世界水泳選手権大会の水球日本代表チーム(男・女)にトレーナーとして帯同する機会を得た。そこで,今回は上記大会期間中の傷害状況とトレーナーサポートについて報告する。【方法】2015年7月26日から8月5日の試合期間中に,トレーナーが対応した件数(試合中の対応は除く),選手の主訴部位,トレーナー対応方法を集計した。【結果】延べ対応件数は166件(男子87件,女子79件)だった。主訴・傷害部位(重複あり,全225件)としては,肩関節周囲が66件と最も多く,次いで腰部46件,肘関節37件,股関節周囲24件,全身20件,その他32件となっていた。これらの傷害のなかで,明らかな外傷に起因していたものは2例13件であり,その他は今大会前からの有症状部位や疲労の蓄積に起因すると考えられる症状であった。トレーナー対応方法は徒手的対応が68件,テーピング46件,物理療法機器(超音波治療器,ラジオ波治療器)41件,アイシング39件,エクササイズ28件,創処置3件だった。外傷に起因していた1例を紹介する。試合中に相手選手の巻き足が前脛部に当たり,徐々に足関節背屈時の疼痛および背屈困難感を自覚した。試合中はアイシングで対応しながら試合終了までプレーを続行した。試合終了時には前脛部の腫脹があり,背屈困難,歩行困難な状態だった。医師によって下腿打撲と診断され,消炎鎮痛剤が処方された。トレーナーとしては,RICE処置を継続しながら,患部への超音波治療,電気治療,歩行時の背屈補助を目的としたテーピングを実施した。受傷2日目,3日目にも同様の対応を実施し,疼痛緩和が得られ,背屈困難感は解消し歩行も可能となったが,泳動作(キック)時の疼痛が残存したため,底屈制限を目的としたテーピングを実施し,試合に出場した。【結論】水球競技における傷害は肩関節,腰部に多く,投球動作,泳動作による負担が多いことに起因すると考えられる。試合期間中,負荷が高まることが背景にあるが,日常から肩関節や腰部のコンディショニングの意識を高める必要がある。また,外傷による問題も少なからず発生することから,トレーナーは外傷への対応力を習得する必要がある。

    【はじめに,目的】飛込競技は高さ1m・3mの弾力性のある飛板,あるいは5m・7m・10mの固定台から飛込む採点競技である。傷害発生に関する先行研究では,入水時に腰痛が多く発生し,その腰痛発症には肩甲帯の柔軟性が関与していることが明らかにされた。そこで,2014年ナショナルジュニア合宿参加者の1年間の傷害発生状況および肩甲帯の柔軟性(肩回旋幅)を測定し,現役選手の傷害予防策を講じるための一助とした。【方法】対象は2014年飛込競技ナショナルジュニア合宿に参加した男性14名,女性8名,計22名とした。傷害発生状況を把握するため合宿参加前1年間の傷害調査を実施した。傷害の定義は,飛込競技によって生じ,練習を1日以上休んだものとした。肩甲帯の柔軟性の指標として肩回旋幅(cm)の測定を行った。2回測定し平均値を肩回旋幅とした。肩回旋幅の結果を2014年参加者と2003~2010年参加者(男性60名,女性56名,計116名)の結果を参考とし,比較検討を行った。肩回旋幅は対応のないt検定を用い,肩回旋幅の平均値を全選手(男女),男性選手,女性選手間で比較した。有意水準は5%とした。【結果】合宿参加前1年間の傷害発生状況:2014年合宿参加者20名中,過去1年間に傷害を経験した選手は10名(50.0%)であった。また,傷害総数は12件であり全体の50%が腰部であった。2003~2010年合宿参加者92名中,過去1年間に傷害を経験した選手は43名(46.7%)であった。また,傷害総数は49件であり全体の49%が腰部であった。2014年群の参加者は,過去群の合宿参加者と同様に腰痛を抱えながら競技を行っている選手が多い結果となった 肩回旋幅:全選手(男女)の肩回旋幅は,2014年は55.5±19.5cm,2003~2010年は39.6±19.6cmであり,肩甲帯の柔軟性は有意に低下していた。女性選手の肩回旋幅は2014年では46.3±8.8cm,2003~2010年は26.3±15.6cmであり,肩甲帯の柔軟性は有意に低下していた。また,男性選手の肩回旋幅は2014年では60.8±22.0cm,2003~2010年は52.0±14.1cmであり,肩甲帯の柔軟性は低下傾向であった。【結論】2014年合宿参加者の肩甲帯柔軟性は全選手(男女),女性選手において,2003~2010年合宿参加者よりも有意に低下していた。傷害調査の結果から,2014年合宿参加者は,2003~2010年と同様に腰痛を抱えながら競技を行っている選手が多い結果となった。2003~2010年に対して2014年の腰痛者の割合が減少していないのは,肩甲帯の柔軟性が低下しているためだと考える。そのため今後,練習内容の検討や適切なストレッチ指導を行い肩甲帯の柔軟性を改善する必要があると考える。また,頻回にメディカルチェックを実施することで筋の柔軟性の変化について早期に対処することが重要であるという報告があるため,飛込競技も同様に柔軟性に対する項目を継続して実施する必要があると考える。

  • 着地動作時の後脛骨筋,長腓骨筋,中殿筋の筋活動開始時間

    阿久澤 弘, 金岡 恒治

    理学療法学Supplement   2015 ( 0 )  2016

     View Summary

    【はじめに,目的】着地動作は多くのスポーツに含まれる動作であり,適切に遂行するために多くの筋が協調して活動している。特に後脛骨筋や,長腓骨筋,中殿筋はそれぞれ足関節周囲,股関節周囲の安定性を担っており,動作や姿勢保持に重要な役割を果たしている。姿勢保持のためにそれぞれの筋が協調的に活動し,お互いの機能を補完し合っているとの報告は散見されるが,着地動作中の筋の筋活動開始時間を比較した研究はみられない。本研究の目的は,着地動作中の後脛骨筋,長腓骨筋,中殿筋の筋活動開始時間を比較検討することである。【方法】対象は健常成人男性6名(平均年齢20.6±1.6歳)とした。除外基準は下肢に外傷や疼痛があり,着地動作を行えないものとした。実験試技は片脚着地動作として,高さ30cmの台上で右脚片脚立位をとった姿勢から,台の30cm前方に設置したフォースプレート上に飛び降り,右脚で着地するように行った。試技は5回行い,そのうち3回の成功試技を記録した。被験筋は後脛骨筋,長腓骨筋,中殿筋として着地動作中の筋活動を測定した。後脛骨筋の筋活動測定にはワイヤ筋電図を用いた。ワイヤ電極の刺入は下腿内側近位1/3の位置にて,超音波エコーで筋を描出しながら行った。長腓骨筋と中殿筋の測定は表面筋電図を用いた。筋電図のフィルタ設定はhigh pass 20Hz,low pass 500Hzとし,得られた筋活動データに対して全波整流処理を行った。一連の着地動作のうち身体が宙空にある接地200msec前から接地までの期間を解析し,各筋の筋活動開始時間をintegrated profile methodに基づいて算出した。3回の試技の平均値を各筋の筋活動開始時間として,接地の何msec前から活動を開始したか記録とした。統計解析には一元配置分散分析を使用し,post hoc testとしてBonferroni法を用いた。有意水準は5%未満とした。【結果】各筋の筋活動開始時間は,後脛骨筋が-59.7±28.6msec,長腓骨筋が-70.9±26.6msec,中殿筋が-116.8±22.7msecであった。統計解析の結果,中殿筋の筋活動開始時間は,後脛骨筋,長腓骨筋と比較して有意に早いものであった(p<0.05)。後脛骨筋と長腓骨筋の筋活動開始時間に有意差はみられなかった。【結論】本研究の結果より,着地動作において中殿筋が後脛骨筋,長腓骨筋よりも早期に活動を開始することが示された。中殿筋の機能が不十分だと片脚立位時の足圧中心偏位量が増加するとされている。また,中殿筋の疲労が起こると着地時に長腓骨筋の筋活動量が増加し,筋活動開始時間も早くなるとの報告もある。それらのことからも,身体重心に近い中殿筋から筋活動を開始し,近位部分を安定化させることで,下肢全体の安定性を向上させていると考えられる。臨床的にも,足部の安定性改善を図る場合,中殿筋などの股関節周囲筋も含めた運動が行われているが,その理論的な根拠の一つとなる結果が示唆された。

    【はじめに,目的】変形性膝関節症の進行に,歩行や階段昇降の立脚初期における膝関節側方動揺の大きさが関与するといわれており,この膝関節側方動揺の因子を抽出することは意義深い。階段昇降は膝関節側方動揺,疼痛が出現しやすく,痛みにより階段昇降が困難な患者が,手すりを用いることで痛みが軽減することを経験する。しかし,手すりを用いた階段昇降時の膝関節側方動揺は定量的に捉えられておらず,膝関節側方動揺の大きさと痛みの関係は明らかでない。本研究の目的は,健常者の階段降段時に,手すりの使用が膝関節側方動揺にどの様に影響するかを検証し,階段降段時の膝関節負荷の基礎的資料とすることである。【方法】対象は膝関節に既往歴のない,健常男性3名(身長171.7±7.4cm,体重56.3±1.5kg,年齢23.0±1.73歳)女性3名(身長164.2±9.9cm,体重60.0±8.7kg,年齢20±0.0歳)の計6名とした。計測は,対象者の右腓骨頭に3軸無線加速度計(ワイヤレステクノロジ―社製)を非伸縮テープ(ニチバン社製)で装着し,算出された加速度を膝の動揺とする直接計測法で行った。加速度計のサンプリング周波数は1000Hzとした。測定試技は,10段の階段を110step/secの速さで降りることとし,手すりを使わない通常の階段降段動作(以下,通常降段)と,手すりを用いる階段降段動作(以下,手すり有り降段)の2種類の試技を行った。手すり有り降段では,計測肢である右足が接地する前に左手で手すりを把持する様に指示した。踵接地時の衝撃として計測波形の上方加速度を観察することにより右足接地期を同定した。解析は4,6,8歩目の右脚接地期の最も大きな側方加速度を算出し,その平均値を算出した。その最大側方加速度を,通常降段時と手すり有り降段時で対応のあるt検定を用いて比較した。【結果】膝関節側方加速度ピーク値の平均は,通常降段で1421.7±510.3mG,手すり有り降段で2001.9±735.4mGであり,手すり有り降段が,通常降段と比較し,有意に外側方向に大きな加速度を有していた。【結論】階段降段時の手すり使用により,手すりを使用しない時よりも膝関節側方動揺が大きくなった。今回の試技は,速さや手すりの使用方法を規定されたものに合わせるという課題であり,運動が不安定となり,右足接地期の膝関節側方動揺が大きくなったと考える。また,手すりを用いて上肢での体重支持を行うことで,右脚で体重を支持する筋出力が減少し,膝関節側方動揺が大きくなったのではないかと考える。今回,階段降段時の手すり使用による膝関節の痛みの軽減は,関節側方動揺の大きさは関与していない可能性が示唆された。また,手すりの使用が必ずしも膝関節の安定性を向上させない事が示唆された事から,特に手すりの使用に慣れていない膝関節疾患の術後や急性期の患者においては,膝関節側方動揺にも着目して指導を行う必要があると考える。今後は,手すりの使用方法や形状による違い,変形性膝関節症患者での検討が課題である。

    Physical Therapy Research   19 ( 1 ) 50 - 57  2016

     View Summary

    <p>Background: Pelvic tilting is performed to improve lumbopelvic flexibility or retrain the motor control of local muscles. However, few studies investigated the activity of local muscles during pelvic tilting. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activity during anterior and posterior pelvic tilting. Method: Twelve healthy males (age, 22.6 ± 1.4 years) participated. Fine-wire electrodes were inserted into the bilateral lumbar multifidus (MF) and transversus abdominis (TrA). Surface electrodes were used to record activity of the bilateral rectus abdominis, external oblique, and erector spinae (ES), and the unilateral right latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus, semitendinosus, and rectus femoris muscles. The electromyographic activities during anterior and posterior pelvic tilting in a standing position were recorded and expressed as a percentage of the maximum voluntary contraction (%MVC) for each muscle. Results: The activities of the bilateral MF (right: 23.9 ± 15.9 %MVC, left: 23.9 ± 15.1 %MVC) and right ES (19.0 ± 13.3 %MVC) were significantly greater than those of the other muscles during anterior pelvic tilting. The activity of the left TrA (14.8 ± 16.4 %MVC) was significantly greater than that of the other muscles during posterior pelvic tilting. Conclusions: The results suggested that the MF and ES are related to anterior pelvic tilting. The activity of the TrA, which was classified as a local muscle, was greater during posterior pelvic tilting. This study indicated that local muscles such as the MF and TrA may be related to pelvic tilting.</p>

  • The effect of dynamic stretching on hamstrings flexibility with respect to the spino-pelvic rhythm

    Hasebe Kiyotaka, Okubo Yu, Kaneoka Koji, Takada Kohei, Suzuki Daisuke, Sairyo Koichi

    The Journal of Medical Investigation   63 ( 1 ) 85 - 90  2016

     View Summary

    Objectives: To ascertain the dynamic stretch effects of flexibility of the hamstrings on lumbar spine and pelvic kinematics. Background: Tight hamstrings are positively correlated with low back pain. However, it is unclear how flexibility of the hamstrings affects spino-pelvic rhythm. Methods: Twelve healthy men participated in the study. The straight leg raising (SLR) angle, finger floor distance (FFD), and spino-pelvic rhythm was measured before and after the 6-week stretching protocol. The forward bending task was divided into 4 phases. The paired t-test was used to determine significant differences before and after the FFD, SLR angle, lumbar motion, and pelvic motion, and spino-pelvic rhythm in each phase (p&lt;0.05). Results: After 6 weeks of stretching, significant improvements were seen in the FFD with maximum forward bending and in the SLR angle. Total pelvic rotation was also significantly increased in contrast to total lumbar flexion. A decreased spino-pelvic ratio was seen in the final phase. Conclusion: Dynamic stretching could change the spino-pelvic rhythm to a pelvis-dominant motion, indicating that flexible hamstrings are important for preventing low back pain. J. Med.

     View Summary

    Purpose: We evaluated trunk muscle recruitment in abdominal and back exercises with magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted imaging.
    Methods: Twelve men performed bent-knee sit-up, crunch, trunk lateral flexion, and trunk extension exercises. We obtained axial diffusion-weighted images of the trunk before and after each exercise using a 1.5-tesla MR system, calculated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from the right and left rectus abdominis, lateral abdominal, psoas major, quadratus lumborum, and intrinsic back muscles to evaluate the activity of these muscles during each exercise, and compared ADC values before and after exercise using a paired t-test.
    Results: The ADCs of the rectus abdominis (right, +19.1%; left, +11.7%), lateral abdominal (right, +15.5%; left, +14.1%), and psoas major (right, +14.8%; left, +15.9%) muscles on both sides increased after the bent-knee sit-up (P &lt; 0.01). The ADCs of the rectus abdominis (right, +16.8%; left, +10.2%) and lateral abdominal (right, +8.4%; left, +7.0%) muscles on both sides increased after the crunch exercise (P &lt; 0.01). Trunk lateral flexion resulted in increased ADC on only the right side of all of the muscles (rectus abdominis, +12.3%; lateral abdominal muscles, +20.3%; quadratus lumborum, +17.1%; intrinsic back muscles, +12.0%; psoas major, +15.4%) (P &lt;0.01). The ADCs of the lateral abdominal (right, +5.2%; left, +5.6%), quadratus lumborum (right, +6.0%; left, +3.0%), and intrinsic back (right, +13.2%; left, +14.6%) muscles on both sides were elevated after trunk extension (right lateral abdominal muscles and left quadratus lumborum, P &lt; 0.05; other muscles, P &lt; 0.01).
    Conclusion: Diffusion-weighted imaging reveals the recruitment patterns of superficial and deep trunk muscles in abdominal and back exercises through exercise-induced activation in intramuscular water movement.

    BRITISH JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE   48 ( 11 )  2014.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Background/Aim During competitive diving, divers jump up from 1 to 3 m springboards or 5 to 10 m platforms and dive into the water. The impact forces are very large in the water entry phase, and, as such, microtraumatic injuries are common due to the tremendous physical stress placed on the diver. Low-back pain (LBP) is the most frequently reported symptom in divers. This study aimed to extract possible risk factors related to LBP from physical and technical characteristics in Japanese elite junior divers.
    Methods Eighty-three elite junior divers (42 men and 41 women) in Japan were included in this study. LBP was assessed by a questionnaire, interview and physical examination during a national training camp. Morphological data, physical fitness and diving skills were also evaluated. The factors related to LBP were extracted by using logistic-regression analysis and the forward-selection method (likelihood ratio).
    Results A total of 37.3% (31 reports) of back pain occurred in the lumbar region. Shoulder flexibility (OR 0.919; 95% CI 0.851 to 0.992) and age (OR 0.441; 95% CI 0.239 to 0.814) were recognised as factors related to LBP in male-elite junior divers, whereas only age (OR 0.536; 95% CI 0.335 to 0.856) was a factor in female-elite junior divers.
    Conclusions Our results suggest that shoulder flexibility is important for preventing LBP in elite-male junior divers, since they require full shoulder flexion during the water entry phase. Limited shoulder flexibility could cause lumbar hyperextension when adjusting for the angle of water entry.

    Comparison of the immediate effect of different types of trunk exercise on the star excursion balance test in male adolescent soccer players.   9 ( 4 )  2014

     View Summary

    PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:Trunk exercises, such as trunk stabilization exercises (SE) and conventional trunk exercises (CE), are performed to improve static or dynamic balance. Recently, trunk exercises have also been often used as part of warm-up programs. A few studies have demonstrated the immediate effects of SE and CE on static balance. However, immediate effects on dynamic balance are not yet known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effect of SE with that of CE on the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT).;METHODS:Eleven adolescent male soccer players (17.9 ± 0.3 years, 168.5 ± 5.4 cm, and 60.1 ± 5.1 kg) participated in this study. A crossover design was used, and each participant completed three kinds of testing sessions: SE, CE, and non-exercise (NE). Experiments took place for three weeks with three testing sessions, and a 1-week interval was provided between different conditions. Each testing session consisted of three steps: pretest, intervention, and posttest. To assess dynamic balance, the SEBT score in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions was measured before and 5 minutes after each intervention program. The data of reach distance were normalized with the leg length to exclude the influence of the leg length on the analysis.;RESULTS:The SEBT composite score was significantly improved after the SE (p < 0.05) but did not change after the CE and NE (p > 0.05). Furthermore, in the SE condition, SEBT scores of the posterolateral and posteromedial directions were significantly improved at the posttest, compared with those at the pretest (p < 0.05).;CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrated the immediate improvements in the posteromedial and posterolateral directions of the SEBT only after the SE. This result suggests that the SE used in this study is effective in immediately improving dynamic balance.;LEVELS OF EVIDENCE:3b.

  • Trunk muscle activity with different sitting postures and pelvic inclination

    Masahiro Watanabe, Koji Kaneoka, Yusuke Wada, Yasushi Matsui, Shumpei Miyakawa

    Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation   27 ( 4 ) 531 - 536  2014

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sitting posture may often place large burden on trunk muscles, while trunk muscle activities in the sitting posture have not been well clarified. In this study, a difference in trunk muscle activity between two kinds of sitting postures was evaluated, focusing on low back pain induced by posture holding.
    MATERIAL AND METHODS: An experiment was conducted on the subjects sitting on a stable-seat and on an unstable-seat, with the pelvis inclined forward, backward, rightward, and leftward.
    RESULTS: With the pelvis inclined forward, rightward and leftward, muscle activities were significantly increased in a stable-seat sitting posture. In contrast, no significant increase in muscle activity was observed with the pelvis inclined in every direction in an unstable-seat sitting posture.
    CONCLUSIONS: With the pelvis inclined in the stable-seat sitting posture, muscle activities were imbalanced, while with the pelvis inclined in the unstable-seat sitting posture, muscle activities were not imbalanced. Thus, it is suggested that with the pelvis inclined to the maximum extent in the stable-seat sitting posture, low back pain may be induced by imbalanced muscle activities.

    Effects of two types of trunk exercises on balance and athletic performance in youth soccer players.   9 ( 1 )  2014

     View Summary

    PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:Many athletes perform trunk stabilization exercises (SE) and conventional trunk exercises (CE) to enhance trunk stability and strength. However, evidence regarding the specific training effects of SE and CE is lacking and there have been no studies for youth athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the training effects of SE and CE on balance and athletic performance in youth soccer players.;METHODS:Twenty-seven male youth soccer players were assigned randomly to either an SE group (n = 13) or CE group (n = 14). Data from nineteen players who completed all training sessions were used for statistical analyses (SE, n = 10; CE, n = 9). Before and after the 12-week intervention program, pre- and post-testing comprised of a static balance test, Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Cooper's test, sprint, the Step 50, vertical jump, and rebound jump were performed. After pre-testing, players performed the SE or CE program three times per week for 12 weeks. A two-way repeated-measures ANOVA was used to assess the changes over time, and differences between the groups. Within-group changes from pre-testing to post-testing were determined using paired t-tests. Statistical significance was inferred from p < 0.05.;RESULTS:There were significant group-by-time interactions for posterolateral (p = 0.022) and posteromedial (p < 0.001) directions of the SEBT. Paired t-tests revealed significant improvements of the posterolateral and posteromedial directions in the SE group. Although other measurements did not find group-by-time interactions, within-group changes were detected indicating significant improvements in the static balance test, Cooper's test, and rebound jump in the only SE group (p < 0.05). Vertical jump and sprint were improved significantly in both groups (p < 0.05), but the Step 50 was not improved in either group (p > 0.05).;CONCLUSIONS:Results suggested that the SE has specific training effects that enhance static and dynamic balance, Cooper's test, and rebound jump.;LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:3b.

     View Summary

    The aim of this study was to clarify the prevalence and distribution of disc degeneration in collegiate rowers and investigate the relationship between disc degeneration progression and low back pain (LBP). In this cross-sectional study, 68 collegiate rowers were evaluated for lumbar disc degeneration using the Pfirrmann classification based on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After 2 years, 20 participants underwent follow-up MRI. Injury surveillance to check LBP was conducted between the first examination and follow-up study. The relationship between symptoms and disc degeneration was investigated. Thirty-one (45.6%) rowers had disc degeneration: 48.8% of male rowers and 40.0% of female rowers. After 2 years, disc degeneration progression was observed in 5 (25%) rowers. During the 2 years, 6 rowers reported LBP. In the LBP group, disc degeneration progression was observed in 4 (66.7%) rowers. Significantly more participants in the LBP group than in the non-LBP group (7.1%) (p = 0.014) showed disc degeneration progression. The prevalence of disc degeneration among collegiate rowers was 45.6%, high at the level of the lower lumbar spine. Progression of lumbar disc degeneration was observed in significantly more LBP than non-LBP rowers during the longitudinal study.

    PURPOSE: Polymorphic variation in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and α-actinin-3 (ACTN3) genes has been reported to be associated with endurance and/or power-related human performance. Our aim was to investigate whether polymorphisms in ACE and ACTN3 are associated with elite swimmer status in Caucasian and East Asian populations. METHODS: ACE I/D and ACTN3 R577X genotyping was carried out for 200 elite Caucasian swimmers from European, Commonwealth, Russian, and American cohorts (short and middle distance, ≤400 m, n = 130; long distance, >400 m, n = 70) and 326 elite Japanese and Taiwanese swimmers (short distance, ≤100 m, n = 166; middle distance, 200-400 m, n = 160). Genetic associations were evaluated by logistic regression and other tests accommodating multiple testing adjustment. RESULTS: ACE I/D was associated with swimmer status in Caucasians, with the D allele being overrepresented in short-and-middle-distance swimmers under both additive and I-allele-dominant models (permutation test P = 0.003 and P = 0.0005, respectively). ACE I/D was also associated with swimmer status in East Asians. In this group, however, the I allele was overrepresented in the short-distance swimmer group (permutation test P = 0.041 and P = 0.0098 under the additive and the D-allele-dominant models, respectively). ACTN3 R577X was not significantly associated with swimmer status in either Caucasians or East Asians. CONCLUSIONS: ACE I/D associations were observed in these elite swimmer cohorts, with different risk alleles responsible for the associations in swimmers of different ethnicities. The functional ACTN3 R577X polymorphism did not show any significant association with elite swimmer status, despite numerous previous reports of associations with "power/sprint" performance in other sports.

    Objective To determine trunk muscle activity when lifting an object of greater weight than expected, which may contribute to the development of low back pain.
    Design Electromyographic evaluation of trunk muscle activity.
    Setting University of Tsukuba, Spine laboratory.
    Participants Eleven healthy men with a mean age of 24 (SD 2) years.
    Interventions Trunk muscle activity was measured when subjects lifted an object with their right arm in immediate response to a light stimulus. Surface and wire electrodes were used to measure the activity of the rectus abdominis, external oblique and erector spinae muscles, and the transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus muscles, respectively. The lifting tests were performed in three different settings: lifting an expected 1-kg object, lifting an unexpected 4-kg object (erroneously expected to weigh 1 kg), and lifting an expected 4-kg object.
    Main outcome measures The muscle activity induced when subjects lifted objects of different weights was compared by calculating the root mean square (RMS) of muscle activity at rest and % maximum voluntary contraction.
    Results When the subjects were aware of the weight of the object to be lifted, the activity of the external oblique, transversus abdominis, erector spinae and lumbar multifidus muscles increased immediately after lifting. When the subjects were not aware of the weight of the object to be lifted, the increase in muscle activity was delayed (P &lt; 0.05).
    Conclusions Trunk muscles may not be able to function appropriately when individuals lift an object that is much heavier than expected. (C) 2011 Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    【はじめに、目的】倒立は体操や飛込競技の演技で頻繁に行われる動作であり,高い点数を得るためには身体を一直線に保つ能力が必要とされる.倒立は上肢で体重を支持しながら重心をコントロールするため,立位姿勢とは異なった筋活動様式を示すと考えられる.そこで本研究では,体操選手の倒立姿勢と立位姿勢保持時の筋活動量を比較し,倒立姿勢時の筋活動様式を明らかにすることを目的とした.【方法】対象は体操競技経験10 年以上の大学男子体操選手7 名とした.マット上で直立立位および倒立姿勢を3 秒間保持させた際の筋電図を測定した.倒立姿勢は実際の演技を想定し,できる限り身体を一直線にして静止させた.被験筋は右側の腹直筋,外腹斜筋,内腹斜筋,胸部脊柱起立筋(第9 胸椎レベル),腰部脊柱起立筋(第3 腰椎レベル),大腿直筋,上腕三頭筋,広背筋であり,表面電極を貼付した.立位,倒立ともに姿勢が安定した1 秒間の筋活動量を,等尺性最大随意収縮時の活動量で正期化した%MVCを算出した.各筋において,立位と倒立時の筋活動量をWilcoxonの符号付順位検定を用いて比較した.なお,有意水準は5%とした.【倫理的配慮、説明と同意】本研究はヘルシンキ宣言に基づいた倫理的配慮の下行った。被験者には口頭にて,実験の概要,方法,研究による危険性とその対処法,自由意志による同意であること,同意を示された方でもいかなる場合においても理由を問われることなく実験への同意を撤回することができること,個人の人権を擁護することを説明し,実験参加の同意を得られた後,実験を行った.【結果】腹直筋(立位:0.3 ± 0.1%MVC,倒立:6.5 ± 4.2"%MVC),外腹斜筋(立位:1.0 ± 0.4%MVC,倒立:6.4 ± 5.1"%MVC),大腿直筋(立位:0.6 ± 0.2%MVC,倒立:3.5 ± 2.2"%MVC),上腕三頭筋(立位:0.6 ± 1.0%MVC,倒立:13.5 ± 7.0"%MVC),広背筋(立位:0.5 ± 0.4%MVC,倒立:1.9 ± 1.3"%MVC)は倒立時の活動量が立位時よりも有意に大きかった.腰部脊柱起立筋(立位:4.7 ± 3.6%MVC,倒立:1.6 ± 1.2"%MVC)は立位時の活動量が倒立時よりも有意に大きかった.内腹斜筋,胸部脊柱起立筋に有意差は認めなかった.【考察】本結果より,倒立時には腹直筋,外腹斜筋,大腿直筋,上腕三頭筋,広背筋の活動量が大きかった.倒立時には上肢で体重を支持するため手関節および肩関節のトルクが大きくなることが報告されており(Kerwin DG and Trewartha G,2001),上腕三頭筋や広背筋など上肢筋の活動量が大きくなったと考える.また,倒立姿勢の重心をコントロールするために体幹・股関節の運動制御が必要とされ,腹直筋,外腹斜筋,大腿直筋の活動量が大きくなったと考える.上級者の倒立は初心者よりも股関節伸展方向への角度変位量が少ないことが示されていることから(Gautier G et al., 2009),体幹・股関節屈筋群を活動させて,安定した倒立姿勢を維持している可能性が示唆された.一方,腰部脊柱起立筋は有意に立位で活動量が大きく,胸部脊柱起立筋も有意差は認めなかったが,立位で活動量が大きかった(立位:2.6 ± 0.8%MVC,倒立:1.7 ± 1.1"%MVC).脊柱起立筋群は立位姿勢においては抗重力筋として活動するが,倒立姿勢では抗重力作用を必要としないため活動量が減少する可能性が示唆された.以上から,体幹筋群において立位では体幹背面筋群が活動し,倒立では体幹前面筋群の活動量が大きくなる傾向を示した.今後は,重心位置やアライメントを計測し,抗重力作用と筋活動との関連を明らかにしながら,身体を一直線に維持するための倒立技術を解明する必要がある.【理学療法学研究としての意義】倒立は体操競技だけでなく様々な競技のトレーニング現場で用いられている.本研究では一流体操選手の倒立筋活動を明らかにしたことから,スポーツ現場において倒立パフォーマンスを向上させるための有用な情報になると考える.

    Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy   43 ( 8 ) 577 - 582  2013

     View Summary

    STUDY DESIGN: Experimental laboratory study. OBJECTIVES: To measure the activation patterns (onset and magnitude) of the abdominal muscles during a standing long jump using wire and surface electromyography. BACKGROUND: Activation patterns of the abdominal muscles, especially the deep muscles such as the transversus abdominis (TrA), have yet to be examined during full-body movements such as jumping. METHODS: Thirteen healthy men participated. Wire electrodes were inserted into the TrA with the guidance of ultrasonography, and surface electrodes were attached to the skin overlying the rectus abdominis (RA) and external oblique (EO). Electromyographic signals and video images were recorded while each subject performed a standing long jump. The jump task was divided into 3 phases: preparation, push-off, and float. For each muscle, activation onset relative to the onset of the RA and normalized muscle activation levels (percent maximum voluntary contraction) were analyzed during each phase. Comparisons between muscles and phases were assessed using 2-way analyses of variance. RESULTS: The onset times of the TrA and EO relative to the onset of the RA were -0.13 ± 0.17 seconds and -0.02 ± 0.07 seconds, respectively. Onset of TrA activation was earlier than that of the EO. The activation levels of all 3 muscles were significantly greater during the push-off phase than during the preparation and float phases. CONCLUSION: Consistent with previously published trunk-perturbation studies in healthy persons, the TrA was activated prior to the RA and EO. Additionally, the highest muscle activation levels were observed during the push-off phase. Copyright © 2013 Journal of Orthopaedic &amp

     View Summary

    The study investigated age-related changes in the thickness of the deep and superficial abdominal muscles of 103 healthy women who could walk independently The participants were classified into five age groups: young (n = 26; 20-24 years), young adult (n = 26; 25-44 years), middle-aged (n = 16; 45-64 years), young-old (n = 16; 65-74 years), and old-old (n = 19; 75-85 years). The muscle thicknesses of the right rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis were measured using ultrasound imaging. The rectus abdominis was significantly thicker in the young group compared with the young adult, middle-aged, young-old, and old-old groups (p &lt; 0.05). The external oblique and internal oblique muscles were significantly thicker in the young group compared with the middle-aged, young-old, and old-old groups (p &lt; 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the thickness of the transversus abdominis between groups. The results suggest that age-related muscle atrophy occurs from an early age in superficial abdominal muscles, such as rectus abdominis, and that age-related atrophy is less in deep abdominal muscles such as the transversus abdominis.

     View Summary

    [Purpose] It has been reported that chronic low-back pain (CLBP) patients exhibit asymmetric atrophy of the lumbar multifidus muscle. However, studies focusing on the abdominal muscles have not yet been conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine abdominal muscle thickness and symmetry in CLBP patients and healthy subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Data were obtained from 50 healthy subjects (30.2 +/- 6.1 years) and 50 CLBP patients (31.5 +/- 8.7 years). The thicknesses of the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (10), and transversus abdominis (TrA) were measured by ultrasonography. We calculated the mean thicknesses of both sides. In addition, we calculated the asymmetry ratio as a percentage of the difference between the sides. The differences in muscle thickness between the CLBP patients and healthy subjects were analyzed using the t-test. [Results] We found that the TrA thickness was significantly smaller in CLBP patients (3.7 +/- 0.8 mm) than in healthy subjects (4.2 +/- 1.2 mm). Similarly, the TrA asymmetry ratio was significantly different between the healthy subjects (8.4 +/- 7.5%) and CLBP patients (16.4 +/- 12.1%). [Conclusion] The TrA muscle of CLBP patients was thinner and more asymmetric than that of healthy subjects.

     View Summary

    [Purpose] Therapeutic exercise for chronic low back pain is one of the most important conservative treatments. Recently, lumbar stabilization exercise focused on deep trunk muscles has attracted considerable attention. This study investigated the effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercises for treating CLBP. [Subjects] The subjects were 18 patients with CLBP. CLBP was defined as pain that persisted for more than 3 months. [Methods] The therapeutic exercises involved the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (hereafter referred to as "drawing-in") and prone kneeling (hereafter referred to as "hand-knee"). The exercises were performed during a 3-month intervention period. Pain was evaluated using a Visual Analog Scale (hereafter referred to as "VAS"), while quality-of-life (hereafter referred to as "QOL") was estimated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Examination Questionnaire (hereafter referred to as "JOABPEQ"). Pain and QOL were assessed prior to the intervention (TO), and at one (T1), three (T3), and six months (T6) after the intervention. The Steel-Dwass test was used to investigate differences between values prior to and after performance of the therapeutic exercise regime. Significance was defined as p&lt;0.05. [Results] The median low back pain value was significantly improved at T3 and T6 compared to TO. At T1, patients reported significant improvement in the lumbar functions score in comparison with TO. This change was still observed at T3 and T6. At T3, scores of all items had significantly increased. At T6, the changes in low back pain score and walking ability score were no longer significant, however their tendencies remained. [Conclusions] These results suggest that performance of lumbar stabilization exercises is an effective method for improving comfort and QOL of patients with CLBP.

    【目的】近年,腰痛治療やパフォーマンス向上において体幹深部筋(腹横筋,多裂筋など)機能が重要であることが明らかにされている.その体幹深部筋は四肢を運動させる際,主動筋に先行して活動し,体幹安定性を制御していることが報告されている(Hodges et al., 1997).四肢を激しく運動させるスポーツ動作においても,体幹安定性が確保された上での運動が要求されると推察できるが,体幹深部筋活動は表面電極では導出が困難であるため,スポーツ動作時の体幹深部筋活動を測定した研究は少ない.そこで本研究では,ワイヤ筋電図を用いて垂直跳び時の腹部筋反応時間を明らかにすることを目的とした.<BR><BR>【方法】本実験に参加した健常成人男性16名中,測定不備がなかった11名を対象とした(年齢:24.2±1.9歳,身長:171.7±7.2cm,体重:67.3±8.1kg,値はmean±SD).上肢を胸の前で組ませ,安静立位から最大努力性の垂直跳びを行った際の筋電図および画像データを収集した.被験筋は左側の腹直筋,外腹斜筋,腹横筋,脊柱起立筋,多裂筋であり,腹横筋,多裂筋には滅菌したワイヤ電極を超音波画像ガイド下にて整形外科医が刺入し,刺入後電気刺激装置を用いて収縮を確認した.試技中の筋電波形から筋活動が開始した時点を視覚的に求め,画像で確認した離地時を基準(0秒)として筋反応時間を算出した.一元配置分散分析にて腹筋群(腹直筋,外腹斜筋,腹横筋)の筋反応時間を比較し,有意差が認められた場合はTukey-KramerのHSD検定により多重比較を行った.なお,有意水準は5%とした.<BR><BR>【説明と同意】本研究はヘルシンキ宣言に基づいた倫理的配慮の下行った。被験者には口頭及び文書にて,実験の概要,方法,研究による危険性とその対処法,自由意志による同意であること,同意を示された方でもいかなる場合においても理由を問われることなく実験への同意を撤回することができること,個人の人権を擁護することを説明し,同意書に署名後,実験を行った.なお,本研究は筑波大学人間総合科学研究科研究倫理委員会の承認を得ている(承認番号:590).<BR><BR>【結果】各筋の筋反応時間は早い順に,多裂筋:-0.90±0.20sec,脊柱起立筋:-0.90±0.20sec,腹横筋:-0.41±0.18sec,外腹斜筋:-0.32±0.10sec,腹直筋:-0.22±0.12secであった.また,腹筋群の筋反応時間を統計処理した結果,腹横筋は腹直筋よりも有意に早く活動を開始していた(p=0.0061).<BR><BR>【考察】本結果より,垂直跳び動作時にはまず背筋群が活動した後,腹筋群が活動することが示された.垂直跳び動作は体幹の前傾から動作が開始されるため,まず背筋群から活動を開始し,その後腹筋群が活動したと考えられる.また,腹筋群の中では腹横筋が腹直筋よりも有意に早く活動を開始した.ドロップジャンプ動作では着地前に腹横筋が活動を開始し,その活動は腹直筋よりも有意に早かったことが報告されている(河端ら,2008).ドロップジャンプは跳躍の前に着地動作が行われるため,着地に対する腹部筋反応が現れるが,垂直跳び動作においても同様の結果が得られた.腹横筋は腹腔内圧を高め腰椎の分節的安定性を制御しているのに対し,腹直筋や外腹斜筋などの体幹表層筋はトルクを産生し体幹の運動方向を制御している.従って,腹横筋の活動により体幹安定性を高めた後,表層筋を活動させることでジャンプ動作の推進力を産生していることが示唆された.さらに,腰痛患者では腹横筋の先行的活動が遅延すると報告されている(Hodges et al., 1996)ため,今後は腰痛患者が行うスポーツ動作において腹横筋反応時間が遅延しているか否かを検討することで,アスリートの腰痛治療や予防につながる可能性がある.<BR><BR>【理学療法学研究としての意義】本研究により,健常者が行う垂直跳び動作では,体幹深部筋から表層筋へと順に活動することが明らかとなった.本結果は,ジャンプ動作の体幹筋活動に関する基礎的データであり,リハビリテーションやトレーニング現場においてジャンプ動作を指導する際に有用な知見になると考える.

    The objective of this study is to predict the behaviors of the human body in pre-crash conditions based on the experimental study. In order to simulate the actual pre-crash condition of a car that occurs when the pre-crash braking system is activated in an emergency situation, low speed front impact tests on human volunteers were conducted. From the result of this experiment, pre-crash occupant behavior was predicted. The pelvis motion was strongly influenced by the muscle activity, relating to the driver's posture just before the collision.

  • Injury incidence in Japanese elite junior divers

    Japanese Journal of Sciences in Swimming and Water Exercise   14 ( 1 ) 1 - 6  2011

     View Summary

    In competitive diving, divers jump up from 1 or 3 m springboards or 5-10 m platforms and dive into the water. At the time of water entry, the force of impact is very large, which places tremendous physical stress on the diver. However, there are few investigations about injury occurrence in divers, especially during the junior period. Thus, this study aimed to describe the prevalence of injuries among elite junior divers over a 7-year period. One hundred and sixteen (60 male, 56 female) Japanese elite junior divers were included in this study. Parts of pain and injury incidence scene that the divers experienced were assessed by questionnaires during national training camps. Low back pain(LBP)was assessed by interviews, and physical examinations. The major findings were as follows: (1) Among all types of injuries, there was high prevalence of LBP (38.4%) in elite junior divers in Japan. (2) Most injuries occurred at the time of water entry.

     View Summary

    Surface electromyography (EMG) has been used to estimate deep trunk muscle activity. However, it remains unknown whether surface EMG provides an accurate estimation of this activity. The purposes of this study were to compare surface and intramuscular EMG activity measurements and investigate the efficacy of surface EMG measurement for the transversus abdominis (TrA) and the multifidus (MF) muscles. Eight healthy men participated in the study. TrA and MF activities were simultaneously measured by both intramuscular and surface EMG during isometric trunk exercises. Spearman correlation coefficients for the relationship between the two activity measurements for the right TrA, left TrA, right MF, and left MF were 0.55, 0.36, 0.67, and 0.79, respectively. For the TrA, Bland-Altman plots revealed that mean differences between measurements obtained by intramuscular EMG and surface EMG were not close to zero, with a systematic bias toward higher surface EMG values. In conclusion, surface and intramuscular EMG activity measurements were strongly correlated for MF muscles, but poorly correlated for TrA muscles.

    JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC & SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY   40 ( 6 ) 369 - 375  2010.06  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study.
    OBJECTIVES: To clarify whether differences in surface stability influence trunk muscle activity.
    BACKGROUND: Lumbar stabilization exercises on unstable surfaces are performed widely. One perceived advantage in performing stabilization exercises on unstable surfaces is the potential for increased muscular demand. However, there is little evidence in the literature to help establish whether this assumption is correct.
    METHODS: Nine healthy male subjects performed lumbar stabilization exercises. Pairs of intramuscular fine-wire or surface electrodes were used to record the electromyographic signal amplitude of the rectus abdominis, the external obliques, the transversus abdominis, the erector spinae, and lumbar multifidus. Five exercises were performed on the floor and on an unstable surface: elbow-toe, hand-knee, curl-up, side bridge, and back bridge. The EMG data were normalized as the percentage of the maximum voluntary contraction, and data between doing each exercise on the stable versus unstable surface were compared using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
    RESULTS: With the elbow-toe exercise, the activity level for all muscles was enhanced when performed on the unstable surface. When performing the hand-knee and side bridge exercises, activity level of the more global muscles was enhanced when performed on an unstable surface. Performing the curl-up exercise on an unstable surface, increased the activity of the external obliques but reduced transversus abdominis activation.
    CONCLUSION: This study indicates that lumbar stabilization exercises on an unstable surface enhanced the activities of trunk muscles, except for the back bridge exercise. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2010;40(6):369-375. doi:10.2519/jospt.2010.3211

    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE   38 ( 4 ) 791 - 796  2010.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Background: Low back pain is a significant problem not only for the adult, but also during youth. However, the relationship between low back pain during youth and the duration or types of competitive sports has not been clarified.
    Hypothesis: Low back pain during youth is associated with the duration and types of competitive sports.
    Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 4.
    Methods: Study participants were 4667 new university students who, from 2004 to 2006, answered a questionnaire concerning low back pain and their participation in competitive sports. The participants were divided into a "no&apos;&apos; group (NO), a middle group (MID), and a high group (HI) based on the duration of participation in competitive sports. The answers to the questionnaire were analyzed using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. Furthermore, we selected students who had participated in the same sport for 5 or more years and categorized the students according to the type of sport. Differences in low back pain among the groups were analyzed using logistic regression with the NO group as the reference group.
    Results: There were statistically significant linear associations in the NO, MID, and HI groups, with 50.0%, 61.8%, and 71.7%, respectively, of the students experiencing low back pain. Among the NO, MID, and HI groups, 4.4%, 5.7%, 9.6%, respectively, had experienced school absence due to low back pain; and 4.0%, 8.5%, and 14.6%, respectively had low back pain with associated lower extremity pain and numbness. All 8 sports groups that were analyzed had experienced low back pain significantly higher than the NO group, and the odds ratios differed by sport with the highest (3.8) for the volleyball group.
    Conclusion: Excessive exposure to competitive sports activities during youth was associated with low back pain and symptoms in the lower extremities, with the severity varying with the sport. To reduce low back pain in youth, factors that may be causing low back pain, such as sport-specific postures and motions, need to be investigated.

    【目的】<BR> 飛込競技は高さ10mの固定台、3m・1mの飛板から跳び上がり、入水までの空間で宙返りや捻り技を行う競技である。入水時の衝撃はおおよそ400kgfと大きく、身体に様々な痛みを抱えながら競技を行っている選手は多い。今まで我々が行ってきた調査により、特に腰痛有訴者が多い事が分かってきた。飛込選手の腰痛には、入水時に身体へかかる大きな負荷が関わっていると考えられ、身体的要因および技術特性の関連が推察される。しかし、飛込選手の腰痛と関連する要因を、身体的要因、技術特性を含めて調査した研究はない。<BR>本研究の目的は、飛込競技女子全日本ジュニア選手の腰痛と関連する要因を身体的要因、技術特性も含め検討することとする。<BR><BR>【方法】<BR> 2003~2008年に全日本ジュニア合宿に参加した女子飛込選手26名を対象に、自覚的慢性腰痛の有無を問診にて調査した。<BR>腰痛に関連する因子として形態、体力・身体特性、技術特性の3つの項目を測定した(複数年参加している選手は、初年度の測定値)。形態項目には身長、体重、BMI、体力・身体特性項目には長座体前屈、上体そらし、立幅跳、垂直跳、30秒上体起こし、肩回旋幅(両手で棒を持ち体の前から後に回した時の両手の最少距離)、背筋力が含まれた。技術特性項目は競技歴(年)、倒立技術(保持時間、姿勢)、踏切技術(陸上での前、後、前逆、後踏切前宙返りの優劣を各10点満点で評価)、入水技術(1群:前跳、2群:後跳、3群:前逆跳、4群:後踏切前跳時の優劣を各30点満点で評価)を含んだ。技術の評価は日本水泳連盟公認審判3人が行い、得点の平均値を点数とした。<BR>腰痛に関連する要因の抽出には、ロジスティック回帰分析変数増加法(尤度比)を用いた。また、腰痛の有無により腰痛群、非腰痛群に分け、形態、体力・身体特性、技術特性の各項目に対する群間比較をMann-Whitney検定にて行った。いずれも有意水準は5%とした。<BR><BR>【説明と同意】<BR> 口頭及び文章にて、研究の概要、方法、被験者の自由意志による同意であること、同意を示された場合でも理由を問われることなく実験への同意を撤回することができること、個人の人権を擁護することを被験者及びコーチに説明を行った。その後、研究の主旨に同意を得られた選手に対し、測定を行った。<BR><BR>【結果】<BR> 対象26名中、自覚的慢性腰痛を訴えている選手は11名(42.3%)であった。ロジスティック回帰分析より、腰痛は入水技術4群:後前跳び(P=0.044、オッズ比:3.632)との間に有意な関連を認め、年齢(P=0.053、オッズ比:5.970)、身長(P=0.087、オッズ比:1.607)との間にその傾向を認めた。また、腰痛群[身長(cm):157.3±4.2、体重(kg):50.7±4.2、BMI:20.5±1.1、競技歴(年):7.1±2.6]、非腰痛群[身長(cm):153.0±6.0、体重(kg):43.8±6.8、BMI:18.6±2.2、競技歴(年):6.0±2.3]の比較では以下の項目に有意差を認めた。年齢(歳):腰痛群:16.0±1.0、非腰痛群:14.0±1.7(以下同順)、体重(kg):50.7±4.2、43.8±6.9。他の項目に有意差は認められなかった。<BR><BR>【考察】<BR> 今回のロジスティック回帰分析の結果では、入水技術4群(後に跳び前方回転)のみ腰痛に関連していることが示唆された。この事から、飛込競技では身体的要因よりも技術特性が腰痛に関わっている可能性が考えられる。入水技術4群とは、台や飛板から後に跳び、前方に回転し最後は手から入水する種目で、入水時には腰椎は屈曲位になっている事が多い。腰椎屈曲肢位では椎間板の髄核が後方に移動し、椎間板由来の前屈型腰痛が生じやすいと報告されている。よって今後は、空中動作における体幹筋群の活動や動作解析とともに椎間板変性などの腰椎器質的変化を調査する必要があると考える。<BR>また、腰痛群、非腰痛群の比較では、年齢及び体重に有意差が認められた。腰痛群の年齢の平均が16.0±1.0歳、非腰痛群は14.0±1.7歳であり、ロジスティック解析でも腰痛との関連性に傾向が認められた事から、年齢が高くなるほど腰痛を有している可能性が高いと考える。<BR>また、腰痛群は非腰痛群と比較し体重が重かった。運動エネルギーの法則から考えると、体重が重い群は、軽い群と比較し入水時の衝撃が大きく、腰部への負荷は強いと思われる。この事が、腰痛に関連していると推測する。<BR><BR><BR>【理学療法学研究としての意義】<BR> 今回の結果では、飛込選手の腰痛には、4群という入水技術が影響している事が示唆された。この事から、スポーツ選手に理学療法を展開する場合、身体的要因の評価のみならず、選手の行っている技術特性にも着目する必要性が確認された。

    【目的】腰部固有受容感覚は体幹運動をコントロールするために重要な機能である.その腰部固有受容感覚は慢性腰痛により低下すると報告されている一方,腰痛患者と健常者で差がないと報告している研究もあり,見解が分かれている.また,大学生アスリートの腰部固有受容感覚機能を調査した報告は少ない.そこで本研究では,大学サッカー選手の腰部固有受容感覚機能を測定し,腰痛経験との関係を検討することを目的とした.<BR><BR>【方法】対象はT大学に所属する男子大学サッカー選手で,腰痛経験のない健常群14名(年齢:20.6±1.1歳,身長:175.0±4.0cm,体重:65.6±4.2kg,競技歴:12.6±2.5年)と今までに腰痛経験を有する腰痛群14名(年齢:20.7±1.1歳,身長:172.3±4.7cm,体重:65.3±4.9kg,競技歴:12.9±2.1年)とした.腰部固有受容感覚は,磁気式三次元位置センサーを用いたrepositioning testにより評価した.センサーを第12胸椎(T),第3腰椎(L),第1仙椎(S)棘突起高位の体表に貼付し,試技中にセンサーが動かないよう固定した.試技は,閉眼座位にて課題角度まで体幹を傾斜させ,10秒間静止してその課題角度(D)を記憶させた.その後,最大前後屈動作を5回行わせ,記憶した課題角度に戻した際の角度(D')を測定し,D'とDの差をrepositioning error(RE)とした.課題角度はTのセンサーが前屈40゜,後屈15゜,右側屈20゜,左側屈20゜となった角度とし,それぞれ3回ずつ,順番をランダムに施行した. 各課題角度において,T,L,SそれぞれのREの3回の平均値を算出し,健常群と腰痛群のREをWilcoxonの符号付順位検定により比較した.尚,有意水準は5%とした.<BR><BR>【説明と同意】口頭及び文書にて,実験の概要,方法,研究による危険性とその対処法,被験者の自由意志による同意であること,同意を示された方でもいかなる場合においても理由を問われることなく実験への同意を撤回することができること,個人の人権を擁護することを説明し,同意書に署名後,実験を行った.<BR><BR>【結果】年齢,身長,体重,競技歴に両群で有意差は認められなかった.T,L,Sの順に,健常群の屈曲REは5.8±4.0゜,4.7±2.5゜,3.7±1.2゜,腰痛群の屈曲REは3.9±2.5゜,3.5±1.4゜,2.5±1.4゜で,SのREが腰痛群で有意に低い値を示した.健常群の伸展REは5.6±2.3゜,3.8±1.9゜,3.4±2.6゜,腰痛群の伸展REは3.7±2.0゜,3.6±2.0゜,4.4±2.5゜で,TのREが腰痛群で有意に低い値を示した.健常群の右側屈REは2.3±1.1゜,2.0±0.8゜,1.7±0.7゜,腰痛群の右側屈REは2.1±1.4゜,1.9±1.0゜,1.6±0.7゜で,全ての高位に群間で有意差はみられなかった.健常群の左側屈REは3.1±1.9゜,3.2±2.0゜,2.5±1.3゜,腰痛群の左側屈REは2.2±0.7゜,2.3±1.2゜,2.7±1.3゜で,全ての高位に群間で有意差はみられなかった(値は全てmean±SD).<BR><BR>【考察】本研究での健常群の屈曲REは3.7゜~5.8゜,伸展REは3.4゜~5.6゜,側屈REは1.7゜~3.2であり,一般健常人を測定した先行研究と類似の値を示した.しかし,今回は非アスリートの測定を行っていないため,今後は同年代の非アスリートのREを測定し,大学サッカー選手の腰部固有受容感覚機能の特性を明らかにする必要があると考える.また,本研究の結果から,腰痛群におけるSの屈曲REやTの伸展REが健常群に比べ有意に低い値を示した.Newcomerらは腰痛経験者のREは健常者よりも有意に低いという本研究と同様の結果を報告している.痛み刺激は椎間関節に存在するメカノレセプターの数や感度を増加させると報告されており,本研究でも同様の機序が作用し,腰痛群の腰部固有受容感覚機能を向上させた可能性が考えられる.腰部固有受容感覚の低下をもたらすのは腰椎の分節的不安定性を有する腰痛患者に限定されるとの報告もあるため,今後は腰痛を病態別に分類した上で腰部固有受容感覚機能を検証する必要があると考える.<BR><BR>【理学療法学研究としての意義】本研究により,大学サッカー選手の腰部固有受容感覚機能が明らかになり,腰痛群の固有受容感覚機能は健常群よりも鋭敏であることが示唆された.本結果は,アスリートの腰痛経験が腰部固有受容感覚に影響を及ぼしている一知見となると考える.

    【目的】骨盤傾斜角度は脊柱アライメントに影響を与え、骨盤前傾位では腰椎前彎角は増加し、骨盤後傾位では逆に減少する。腰椎の過剰な前彎は腰痛の原因の一つと考えられ、腰痛のリハビリテーションとして腰椎前彎角を減ずることを目的に下肢のストレッチや骨盤後傾運動が行われている。骨盤前後傾運動においては,体幹の表層に位置するグローバル筋だけでなく,深層に位置するローカル筋の関与が最近の研究によって明らかにされてきているが,まだ詳細については不明な点が多い。また臨床において骨盤前後傾運動を実施する際,その運動範囲や運動様式には個人差が見られ,その評価は評価者の技術・経験などに影響される主観的なものであるため、より客観的に評価するための指標が望まれる。その指標の一つとして,骨盤前後傾可動域は比較的簡便かつ定量化が可能であり,有用だと考える。しかし,これまでに骨盤前後傾運動時の筋活動と可動域との関係を報告した研究は見当たらない。そこで本研究の目的は骨盤自動前後傾運動時の骨盤周囲筋の筋活動を明らかにし,さらに矢状面での骨盤前後傾可動域と筋活動との関係性を明らかにすることとした。<BR>【方法】健常成人男性12名(22.6±1.4歳,169.9±5.7cm,69.6±7.6kg)を対象とし,動作課題は立位骨盤中間位から最大前傾位までの骨盤前傾運動,次いで最大後傾位までの骨盤後傾運動を指示し,各運動中の筋電図を計測した。筋電図測定には,両側の腹直筋(RA)、外腹斜筋(EO)、脊柱起立筋(ES)および片側(右側)の広背筋(LD)、大殿筋(GMA)、半腱様筋(ST)、大腿直筋(RF)に表面電極(Vitrode F-150S; 日本光電)を貼布し,両側の腹横筋(TrA)、多裂筋(MF)にはワイヤ電極(UNIQUE MEDICAL社)を超音波ガイド下に23G注射針をガイドとして整形外科医によって挿入した。その後,電極が適切に刺入されていることを確認するために,電気刺激を加えて目的筋の収縮を超音波で描出した。ワイヤ電極刺入に関しては筑波大学倫理委員会の承認を得て実施した。サンプリング周波数は2000Hz,バンドパスフィルターは20-500Hzとした。等尺性最大随意収縮(MVC)時の筋活動で標準化した%MVCを算出し,さらに立位姿勢を保持するために要する筋活動の影響を取り除くため,骨盤前後傾運動時と安静立位保持時の%MVCの差で各筋を比較した。また骨盤前後傾可動域測定には,被験者の上前腸骨棘(ASIS)と上後腸骨棘(PSIS)にマーカーを貼付し,デジタルカメラを用いて矢状面における骨盤前傾位・中間位・後傾位の静止画を撮影した。その後,画像解析ソフトimage-J(NIH)を用いてASISとPSISを結んだ線が水平となす角度(骨盤傾斜角度)から骨盤前後傾可動域を算出した。さらに骨盤前後傾運動でそれぞれ大きい活動を示した筋を抽出し,筋活動と骨盤前後傾可動域との関係性について検討した。分析には骨盤前後傾運動時の各筋の筋活動の比較にTukey HSD法による多重比較検定を用い,骨盤前後傾可動域と筋活動との関係にはPearsonの積率相関係数を算出した。有意水準は5%未満とした。<BR>【説明と同意】被験者には事前に研究について書面と口頭による説明の後,同意を得て研究を実施した。<BR>【結果】骨盤前傾運動時には骨盤中間位に比較して,両側のMFが23.9%,右ESは19.0%,左ESは13.6%と有意に増加した。また骨盤後傾運動時は左TrAのみ14.7%と有意に増加した。また,特に大きい活動を示した両側MF(前傾)、左TrA(後傾)と骨盤前後傾可動域との相関係数はそれぞれ,0.68(右MF),0.62(左MF),0.53(TrA)であり,骨盤前傾可動域と両側MFでは有意に高い関係を示した。<BR>【考察】骨盤前傾運動では骨盤の上後方に付着するMFやESによって,骨盤の後方が引き上げられ,骨盤の前傾運動が生じると考えられる。一方の骨盤後傾運動では,これまで恥骨に付着するRAが主に作用すると考えられていたが,今回の結果ではRAよりもTrAの筋活動が大きかった。TrAは骨盤前方の腸骨稜や鼠径靭帯にも付着するため,収縮により骨盤の前方が引き上げられ,骨盤後傾運動が生じると考えられる。また,骨盤前傾可動域とMFの間には有意に高い関係が認められたことから,より大きく骨盤を前傾させるには,MFの大きい筋活動が必要とされることが考えられた。骨盤後傾運動では左TrAと後傾可動域に正の相関は認めたものの,ばらつきが大きく個人差や左右差が大きいことも推察された。<BR>【理学療法学研究としての意義】本研究により,骨盤自動前後傾運動時の筋活動が明らかとなり,骨盤の運動を客観的に評価する指標として,骨盤前後傾可動域の有用性が示唆された。

    In this study, a neck injury criteria would be proposed based on the hypothesis that neck pain is evoked by local strain on the cervical vertebral disk and facet joint caused by hyper translation and rotation of cervical vertebrae. Cervical vertebral motion was defined as strain on the cervical vertebral disk and facet joint and the relationship between the strain and parameters which can be obtained from dummy was investigated. Then, the risk curves for prediction of neck injuries were established on the parameters which have good correlations with the strain.

    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE   37 ( 1 ) 149 - 155  2009.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Background: Several studies have reported that physical loading related to competitive sports activities is associated with lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration. However, the association between types of sports activities and disk degeneration has not been clarified.
    Hypothesis: The frequencies of disk degeneration may vary with the competitive sport because of the different postures and actions specific to each sport.
    Study Design: Cross-sectional study (prevalence); Level of evidence, 3.
    Methods: Study participants were 308 well-trained university athletes (baseball players, basketball players, kendo competitors, runners, soccer players, swimmers) and 71 nonathlete university students (reference group). Disk degeneration was evaluated using T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. A self-reported questionnaire concerning low back pain was also conducted.
    Results: The proportions of the participants who had disk degeneration among the baseball players (odds ratio, 3.23) and the swimmers (odds ratio, 2.95) were significantly higher than among the nonathletes using logistic regression analysis. When all patients were grouped together, the association between lifetime experience of low back pain and participants with disk degeneration was significant, and a linear association between the degree of severest low back pain experienced and participants with disk degeneration, analyzed by a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, was also significant.
    Conclusion: Continuous competitive baseball and swimming activities during youth may be associated with disk degeneration. Furthermore, the study indicates that the experience of severe low back pain might be a predictor of disk degeneration in youth. The authors hope that preventive measures and management to protect against disk degeneration and low back pain in athletes will be established by further studies based on these results.

     View Summary

    BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration (DD) precedes degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. Various factors in addition to normal aging are reported to be associated with DD, and recently atherosclerosis and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (cardiovascular risk factors) have received much attention; however, the links between these risk factors and DD are unclear.
    PURPOSE: By correlating magnetic resonance images (MRI) with suspected degenerative disc risk factors such as obesity, cardiovascular risk factors, and atherosclerosis, we hope to clarify the factors associated with DD.
    STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: An observational study.
    PATIENT SAMPLE: Two hundred seventy adults (51-86 years old) who participated in a health promotion program.
    OUTCOME MEASURES: DD evaluated based on the signal intensity of MR T2-weighted midsagittal images of the lumbar spine.
    METHODS: Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc), triglyceride (TG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) as an index of atherosclerosis, osteo-sono-assessment index (OSI) calculated from quantitative ultrasound assessment of the calcaneus as an index of bone mineral density (BMD), history of low back pain (LBP), smoking and drinking habits, and physical loading related to occupations and sports were assessed. The univariate relationships between DD and the variables were evaluated, and finally, odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (0) for the associations of each factor with DD were calculated using logistic regression at each disc level.
    RESULTS: Aging correlated significantly with DD of L1/2 (OR, 2.14), L2/3 (OR, 3.56), L3/4 (OR, 2.84), and L4/5 (OR, 3.05); high BMI, with 1-2/3 (OR, 2.98), L3/4 (OR, 3.58), L4/5 (OR, 2.32), and L5/S1 (OR, 3.34); high LDLc, with L4/5 (OR, 2.65); occupational lifting, with L1/2 (OR, 4.25); and sports activities, with L5/S1 (OR, 3.36).
    CONCLUSIONS: Aging, high BMI, high LDLc, occupational lifting, and sports activities are associated with DD. The results of this study raise our index of suspicion that cardiovascular risk factors and particular physical loading may contribute to DD; however additional studies are required to further investigate associations between DD and these factors.

    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE   35 ( 8 ) 1341 - 1345  2007.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Background: The majority of orthopaedic problems experienced by competitive swimmers are related to pain in the shoulder, low back, and knee. Three of 39 national swim team members were hampered in their performance due to lumbar disk herniation at an international competition in 2001. There has been no previous research into lumbar disk degeneration in elite competitive swimmers.
    Hypothesis: Excessive competitive swimming activities accelerate lumbar disk degeneration.
    Study Design: Case control study; Level of evidence, 3.
    Methods: Fifty-six elite swimmers (high-load group, 35 men and 21 women; mean age, 19.6 years) and a control group of 38 university recreational level swimmers (low-load group, 24 men and 14 women; mean age, 21.1 years) were evaluated for lumbar disk degeneration using magnetic resonance imaging. We compared the prevalence of disk degeneration and the disk level between the 2 groups and further investigated the relationship among their symptoms, swimming styles, and disk degeneration.
    Results: Thirty-eight (68%) elite swimmers and 11 (29%) controls had degenerated disks at various disk levels, and the prevalence was significantly greater in the elite swimmers (P =.0002). Comparison between the 2 groups of the prevalence of disk degeneration at each level revealed that the disk level of L5-S1 was significantly more frequently degenerated in the high-load group (P =.026). There was no significant relationship observed among the variables of low back pain symptoms, swimming strokes, and disk degeneration.
    Conclusion: Excessive competitive swimming activities might exaggerate lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration, especially in the L5-S1 intervertebral segment.

     View Summary

    Study Design. Digitized measurements of the intervertebral motions using cervical cineradiographs of 10 volunteers during direct impacts applied to their faces.
    Objectives. To clarify the cervical spine motion during direct face impact and postulate some mechanisms of neck injuries.
    Summary of Background Data. Neck injury occurs mostly in traffic or falling accidents. Hyperextension of the neck is considered the most common mechanism of the injury because most victims have lacerations or contusions on their faces.
    Methods. A low-level backward impact load was applied to 10 healthy male volunteers' faces at the forehead and maxilla via a strap using a free-falling small mass. Cervical vertebral motion was recorded by radiograph cineradiography during the impact.
    Results. The upper cervical spine showed a flexion motion for both conditions. Consequently, the cervical spine had an S-shaped curvature similar to that in cervical retraction. Intervertebral motions of the cervical spine were evaluated using an radiograph frame taken at the maximum cervical retraction. For the forehead load, intervertebral motion at C1-C2 was flexion, and motions of the lower cervical spine were extension. For the maxilla load, intervertebral motions from occiput-C1 through C4-C5 were flexion. The inflection point of the curvature was influenced by the impact location.
    Conclusion. We detected a flexion motion of the upper or middle cervical spine during direct face impact. In an actual accident, if the cervical spine is forced into similar motion, we speculate that neck injury would occur in this retraction-like curvature of the cervical spine.

     View Summary

    Study Design. A case report and review of previous literature are presented.
    Objective. The objective of this manuscript was to report a case of cervical myelopathy due to anomalous laminae of the axis in a patient with spina bifida.
    Summary of Background Data. In previous studies, few cases of invaginated anomalous laminae of the axis have been reported. Treatment was surgical removal of the invaginated laminae.
    Methods. The patient's history, clinical examination, imaging findings, and treatment were reported.
    Results. Characteristic findings were revealed from imaging studies, a multiplane reconstruction of the CT images, and a stereolithographic model of the cervical spine. The patient was treated with a posterior decompressive operation. The outcome was satisfactory, with an improvement in the patient's neurology.
    Conclusions. This is a report of a rare characteristic anomaly of the laminae of the axis. A multiplane reconstruction of the CT images and a stereolithographic model were useful for treatment of this case. Possible causes of this anomaly may be the failure of ossification or fusion of the embryological term.

  • The human cervical spine motion during rear-impact collisions: A proposed cervical facet injury mechanism during whiplash trauma

    Koji Kaneoka, Koshiro Ono, Satoshi Inami, Naoyuki Ochiai, Koichiro Hayashi

    Journal of Whiplash and Related Disorders   1 ( 1 ) 85 - 97  2002

     View Summary

    Background. The mechanism of whiplash injury has not been revealed yet. We analyzed in vivo cervical spine motion during simulated rear-end car collisions to clarify the whiplash injury mechanism. Method. The subjects were ten male volunteers. The ethics committee approved the protocol of this study. The subjects sat on a sled that glided backward on inclined rails and crashed into a damper at 8 km/hr. Cineradiography recorded the cervical spine motion during impact and the motion analysis of each vertebra was performed. Findings. During simulated rear-end impacts, torso motion forced the cervical spine to extend from the lowest vertebrae. This early extension motion of lowest cervical vertebrae caused the cervical spine to flex in the early phase. After this initial flexion motion, extension motion started from the lowest motion segment and gradually moved to the upper segments. Approximately 110 ms after impact, while the upper segments were still in the flexion mode, the lower segments have already been extended, creating an S-shaped curvature of the cervical spine. Interpretation. We observed abnormal cervical spine motions during simulated rear-end impacts and consider that this motion may be related to the whiplash injury mechanism. © 2002 by The Haworth Press, Inc.

     View Summary

    To analyze the effect of the seat characteristics on dummy motions and human volunteer motions, sled tests simulating low-speed rear impacts were conducted with some seats which had different characteristics. Volunteer's cervical vertebral motions were photographed with an X-ray cineradiographic system at a speed of 90 frames/s as well as the visible motions of dummy's and volunteer's were recorded. Although the tests were conducted under limited conditions, the results indicated the relationship between the occupant's visible motions, which are assumed to be closely related to the whiplash injury mechanism, and seat characteristics. It should be noted that the volunteer sled tests were discussed and approved by the Tsukuba University Ethics Committee and the volunteer submitted his informed consent in writing in line with the Helsinki Declaration.

     View Summary

    The non-physiological motions of human cervical vertebrae were analyzed in volunteer tests for rear-end impacts and were considered to be an important parameter for neck injuries. The objectives of this study are to improve the Marko de Jager neck model using volunteer test data and to analyze the influence of horizontal and vertical accelerations on cervical vertebral motion. In the beginning of this study, a neck model was positioned based on X-ray cineradiography of a volunteer. Motions of each vertebra were compared with those of volunteer test data for low speed rear-end impacts (4, 6, 8km/h). In these comparisons, the differences of vertebrae motions between the neck model and the volunteer tests were found. To improve the validity of the neck model, the connection properties and the bending properties of the upper and lower vertebrae of the model were modified to increase rigidity. Using the modified neck model, simulation analysis was performed by changing horizontal and vertical accelerations to analyze the influence of seat property on vertebrae motion. The forces caused by contact with each adjacent facet of the vertebrae, vertebra angles and vertebra rotation center relative to adjacent vertebra were calculated to evaluate the severity for the vertebrae and to analyze the motions of the vertebrae just before facet contact. It was found that the facet force and the height of rotation center were influenced not only by horizontal acceleration but also by vertical acceleration.

     View Summary

    Few detailed studies of synovial folds of cervical facet joints exist at the moment. This study was performed to provide anatomical data for each synovial fold in the cervical facet joints, using 20 cervical spines from C2 to C7 for dissection. Anatomic evaluation of the synovial folds included the gross morphology, in three dimensions, and the histology. Also, degenerative changes of the lower facet surface on which synovial folds occurred were evaluated. On the basis of gross morphology and histological composition, three types of synovial folds were identified. Type-1 synovial folds, shaped like a crescent, consisted principally of adipose tissue. Type-2 synovial folds had an apical region made up of dense fibrous tissue, with the base and middle region consisting of adipose tissue. In type-2 folds, the size and shape varied, including some elliptic-shaped synovial folds projecting well into the joint cavity. Type-3 synovial folds were thin with ragged free borders, and were formed exclusively of fibrous tissue. This study shows the variable appearance of synovial folds. Speculation was raised that the articular facet impingement of a large synovial fold and the subluxation of a smaller structure may play a possible role in the pathology of some disorders of the neck.

  • Motion analysis of cervical vertebrae during whiplash loading

    K Kaneoka, K Ono, S Inami, K Hayashi

    SPINE   24 ( 8 ) 763 - 769  1999.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Study Design. The motion of each cervical vertebra during simulated rear-end car collisions was analyzed.
    Objectives. To clarify the mechanism of zygapophysial joint injury during whiplash loading,
    Summary of Background Data. The zygapophysial joint is the suspected origin of neck pain after rear-end car collision. However, no studies have been conducted on the mechanisms of zygapophysial joint injuries.
    Methods. Ten healthy male volunteers participated in this study. Subjects sat on a sled that glided backward on inclined rails and crashed into a damper at 4 km/hr. The motion of the cervical spine was recorded using cineradiography. Each vertebra's rotational angle and the instantaneous axes of rotation of the C5-C6 motion segments were quantified. These measurements implemented the template method.
    Results. There were three distinct patterns of cervical spine motion after impact, In the flexion-extension group, C6 rotated backward before the upper vertebrae in the early phase; thus, the cervical spine showed a flexion position (initial flexion), After C6 reached its maximum rotational angle, C5 was induced to extend. As upper motion segments went into flexion, and the lower segments into extension, the cervical spine took an S-shaped position. In this position, the C5-C6 motion segments showed an open-book motion with an upward-shifted instantaneous axis of rotation.
    Conclusions. The cervical spine is forced to move from the lower vertebrae during rear-end collisions. This motion completely differs from normal extension motion and is probably related to the injury mechanism.

     View Summary

    The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of physical exercise at altitudes on serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels. Eight subjects underwent intensive swimming training for 21 days at 1886 m. After altitude training commenced, red blood cell (RBC) counts and erythropoietin levels increased, but both haemoglobin and haematocrit levels did not change significantly. The serum level of VEGF, measured by means of a highly sensitive chemiluminescence (ELISA), showed a transient decrease 10 days after start of the altitude training, thereafter increasing significantly to reach a peak level 19 days later, rising from 23.0 +/- 5.3 to 46.0 +/- 14.6 pg mL(-1) (P &lt; 0.05 vs. before). On return to low altitude in japan,the level of VEGF decreased, and 1 month later had returned to initial levels. Endurance training at altitudes increases serum VEGF levels, this could be an adaptive reaction to hypoxic conditions. This result suggests that VEGF may provide a new physiological parameter for hypoxic stress imposed by high altitude training.

     View Summary

    Twelve volunteers participated in the experiment under the supervision of Tsukuba University Ethics Committee. The subjects sat on a seat mounted on a newly developed sled that simulated actual car impact acceleration. We selected impact speeds (4, 6 and 8 km/h), seat stiffness, neck muscle tension, and alignment of the cervical spine for the parameter study of the head-neck-torso kinematics and cervical spine responses. The effects of those parameters were studies without headrest. The muscle activity was measured with surface electromyography. The cervical vertebrae motion was recorded by cineradiography (90 frames/s X-ray) and analyzed to quantify the rotation and translation of cervical vertebrae at impact. Furthermore, the motion patterns of cervical vertebrae in the crash motion and in the normal motion were compared. Subject's muscles in the relaxed state did not affect the head-neck-torso kinematics upon rear-end impact. The ramping-up motion of the subject's torso was observed due to the inclination of seatback. An axial compression force occurred when this motion was applied to the cervical spine, which in turn developed the initial flexion, with the lower cervical vertebral segments extended and rotated prior to the motions of the upper segments. Those motions were beyond the normal physiological cervical motion, which should be attributed to the facet joint injury mechanism. Furthermore, the more rigid the seat cushion, the greater was the axial compression force applied to the cervical spine. On the other hand, the torso rebounding caused by the softer seat cushion tended to intensify the shearing force applied to the upper vertebrae. It was also deduced that the difference in alignment of the cervical spine affected the impact responses of head and neck markedly. Also the kyphosis of the cervical spine caused the upper travel of rotation center of the lower cervical vertebral segments and its rotational motion resulting in a higher neck injury incidence. Based on the differences in the alignment of the cervical spine between male and female occupants, it is also pointed out that the female neck injury incidence tends to become higher than that of male, as the female cervical spines lake the kyphosis position more often than the male cervical spines. © Copyright 1997 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.

     View Summary

    The musculoskeletal disorders develops when a certain tissue is continuously loaded due to deterioration of muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination (motor control) function. Orthopedic medical treatment such as surgery is required when organic damage occurs, however, before organic changes occur, it is important to improve the physical function of these is effective countermeasures.
    In this study, we used wire electrodes to analyze the activity of the deep muscles such as rhomboid, transversus abdominis, quadrutus lumborum, piriformis, and tibialis posterior, and analyzed the muscle activity patterns during various movements. The activity characteristics of these deep muscles were clarified. Moreover, the method of athletic rehabilitation for activating these deep muscles was analyzed and the more effective method was devised.

    In order to prevent a severe diving accident, it is important to know the safe diving method. This study aims to prevent diving accidents in an one meter depth school swimming pool. In this study, we focused on the diving angle when subjects dive into the water. Eleven subjects were diving from the pool side by variety angles and we measured depth of head using underwater high speed video camera. Statistical analysis revealed that there are strong correlations between diving angles and the depth of head, and showed that if the diving angle is larger than 30 degree, head reaches one meter depth and hits against the bottom of a standard school swimming pool

     View Summary

    腰痛の発症率は非常に高く,腰痛症患者に対し様々な治療が行われている中,近年「腰椎安定性」が腰痛マネージメントに関与する因子として注目されている.腰椎安定化には,体幹深部に位置し腰椎に直接付着する筋(ローカル筋)の機能が重要と言われており,臨床においてもローカル筋の神経・筋協調性を再教育する「腰部安定化トレーニング」が盛んに行われている.しかし,生体においてローカル筋機能が動的な腰椎挙動を制御し得るか否かを検討した研究は少ない.そこで本研究は,ローカル筋機能が腰椎の動的安定性に及ぼす影響を明らかにすることを目的とした.8名の健常成人男性(年齢23〜25歳)に対し,腋窩支持でのぶら下がり状態で腰部・下肢に屈曲一伸展方向への振り子運動を行わせた際の矢状面腰椎挙動及び体幹筋活動を測定した.腰椎挙動計測には第12胸椎(T),第3腰椎(L),第1仙椎(S)棘突起上の皮膚表面に貼付した磁気式三次元位置センサーを用いた.体幹筋活動の測定には筋電図を使用し,腹直筋,外腹斜筋,脊柱起立筋には表面電極,腹横筋,多裂筋にはワイヤ電極を用いた.試技は体幹を弛緩させる「Relax条件」,下腹部を引き込ませる「Hollowing条件」,腹部全体の筋収縮を意識させる「Bracing条件」,股関節を軽度屈曲させる「HipFlex条件」の4条件であり,試技間においてT-L,L-S,T-Sの角度変化及び各筋の活動量を比較した.さらに,試技間の腰椎挙動の変化に最も関与している筋を検討した.2008年3月現在、実験を終了し、腰椎ローカル筋の体幹安定性に及ぼす影響を評価すべく、データの解析を行っている

     View Summary

    仙腸関節障害は老若男女問わず,アスリートにもよく遭遇する腰痛の一つである.スポーツ活動には様々な動作が用いられ,四肢と体幹の筋群が適切なタイミングで活動する.いわゆる適切なモーターコントロールによって安定した運動を行うことができる.骨盤輪の機能的安定機構は骨盤輪内在筋である腹横筋・骨盤底筋が担い,構造的安定機構は後仙腸靱帯等が担うと考えられる.骨盤内在筋の機能が低下することによって後仙腸靱帯への負荷が高まり仙腸関節障害発生のリスクになる.仙腸関節障害の運動療法としては,骨盤内在筋である腹横筋・骨盤底筋が外在筋群よりも先に活動するモーターコントロールの習得が必要となる.仙腸関節障害の保存療法には様々な方法があり,いずれも一定の効果が得られているが,それらに優先または並行して本稿の腹横筋の先行収縮を主としたモーターコントロールエクササイズを実施することを推奨する.(著者抄録)

  • Change in Regional Activity of the Quadratus Lumborum During Bridge Exercises.

    Tomoki Oshikawa, Gen Adachi, Hiroshi Akuzawa, Yu Okubo, Koji Kaneoka

    Journal of sport rehabilitation     1 - 9  2020.04  [International journal]

     View Summary

    CONTEXT: The quadratus lumborum (QL) is expected to contribute to segmental motor control of the lumbar spine to prevent low back pain. It has different layers (anterior [QL-a] and posterior [QL-p] layers), whose functional differences are becoming apparent. However, the difference between the QL-a and QL-p activities during bridge exercises utilized in rehabilitation is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare QL-a and QL-p activities during bridge exercises. DESIGN: Repeated-measurement design was used to assess electromyographic activity of trunk muscles recorded during 14 types of bridge exercises. SETTING: University laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 13 healthy men with no history of lumbar spine disorders participated. INTERVENTION: The participants performed 14 types of bridge exercises (3, 3, and 8 types of side bridge, back bridge, and front bridge [FB], respectively). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fine-wire electromyography was used for QL-a and QL-p activity measurements during bridge exercises. RESULTS: Both QL-a and QL-p showed the highest activity during the side bridge with hip abduction  (47.3% [29.5%] and 43.0% [32.9%] maximal voluntary isometric contraction, respectively). The activity of the QL-a was significantly higher than that of the QL-p during back bridge with ipsilateral leg lift and FB elbow-toe with ipsilateral arm and contralateral leg lift (P < .05). With regard to the QL-p, the activity of the FB hand-knee with contralateral arm and ipsilateral leg lift, the FB elbow-knee with contralateral arm and ipsilateral leg lift, and the FB elbow-toe with contralateral arm and ipsilateral leg lift were significantly higher than that of the FB elbow-knee and FB elbow-toe (P < .05). CONCLUSION: This study indicates different regional activities; the QL-a activated during the back bridge with ipsilateral leg lift and FB with ipsilateral arm lift, and the QL-p activated during the FB with ipsilateral leg lift. These results have implications for the rehabilitation of low back pain or lumbar scoliosis patients based on QL recruitment.

  • Comparison of Lumbar Kinematics with a History of Low Back Pain During Baseball Hitting.

    Tomoki Oshikawa, Koji Kaneoka, Yasuhiro Morimoto, Hiroshi Akuzawa

    International journal of sports medicine   41 ( 2 ) 119 - 127  2020.02  [International journal]

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of a history of low back pain (LBP) on pelvic and lumbar kinematics during baseball hitting. Twenty collegiate male baseball players (age, 21±1 years; height, 172.8±4.7 cm; weight, 72.7±6.2 kg; baseball experience, 13±1 years) performed 5 bat swings. Participants were categorized into the LBP group (n=10) or control group (n=10) based on having experienced lumbar spine pain due to bat swing that lasted more than 24 h within the last 12 months. Three-dimensional kinematic data of the pelvis and lumbar spine during bat swing were measured. Two-way ANOVAs were used to compare pelvic and lumbar kinematics throughout the bat swing between groups, and independent t-tests were used to compare the other outcomes between groups. There was a significant main effect between groups in lumbar flexion angle throughout the bat swing (p=0.047). The mean lumbar flexion angle of the LBP group throughout the bat swing was less than that of the control group. Additionally, the peak angular velocity of lumbar flexion of the LBP group was significantly faster than that of control group (p=0.047). These results can be helpful for longitudinal studies that identify the risk factors of LBP due to bat swing.

     View Summary

    スポーツ動作は非常に複雑な運動で、筋単体の活動ではなく複数の筋の協調活動によって行われる。この協調活動はスポーツ現場では&quot;Motor Control&quot;として表現されるが、神経科学などの分野では&quot;シナジー&quot;と呼ばれ、歩行や走行といったロコモーションや目の前の物を取るリーチングタスクといった実際の運動を対象にシナジー解析を行うことで、筋の協調活動が明らかにされている。シナジー解析によって筋の協調活動を可視化できることから、スポーツ現場に応用することで競技復帰に向けたリハビリテーションや障害の予防、さらにはパフォーマンス向上にも有益な情報をもたらすことが期待される。そこで本稿ではシナジーの概念とその解析方法について述べ、スポーツへの応用例として我々が得たデータを紹介する。(著者抄録)

    <文献概要>はじめに スポーツ動作は身体構造に対する負荷が大きく,かつ繰り返しの運動が要求される.そのため,特定の動作の繰り返しが腰部の安定性に寄与する椎間板,椎間関節,靭帯,筋筋膜,筋付着部に大きな負荷を加えて,障害発生につながる.しかし,同様の練習を行っていても,腰部障害を起こす者と起こさない者が存在する.そのため,運動の負荷量や練習環境だけでなく,個人の身体因子である柔軟性や筋機能,運動フォームなどが障害発生に深く関連する.スポーツ障害の多くは,それらの身体機能の低下が根本的な原因となり,特定の組織に過負荷がかかることで生じると考える.つまり,組織の損傷や炎症反応は根本的な問題ではなく,その組織にストレスを加える原因となる身体因子があるために起こる結果であるといえる.本稿では,スポーツ障害を診るうえで必要な障害程度(stage)分類について述べるとともに,アスリートの腰部障害の各病態と,障害発生の根本的な原因となり得る身体因子を含めて,発生機序について解説する.そのうえで,それぞれの障害の予防方法を提言する.

  • Lumbar lordosis angle and trunk and lower-limb electromyographic activity comparison in hip neutral position and external rotation during back squats.

    Tomoki Oshikawa, Yasuhiro Morimoto, Koji Kaneoka

    Journal of physical therapy science   30 ( 3 ) 434 - 438  2018.03  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    [Purpose] To compare the lumbar lordosis angle and electromyographic activities of the trunk and lower-limb muscles in the hip neutral position and external rotation during back squats. [Subjects and Methods] Ten healthy males without severe low back pain or lower-limb injury participated in this study. The lumbar lordosis angle and electromyographic activities were measured using three-dimensional motion-capture systems and surface electrodes during four back squats: parallel back squats in the hip neutral position and external rotation and full back squats in the hip neutral position and external rotation. A paired t-test was used to compare parallel and full back squats measurements in the hip neutral position and external rotation, respectively. [Results] During parallel back squats, the average lumbar lordosis angle was significantly larger in hip external rotation than in the hip neutral position. During full back squats, lumbar erector spinae and multifidus activities were significantly lower in hip external rotation than in the hip neutral position, whereas gluteus maximus activity was significantly higher in hip external rotation than in the hip neutral position. [Conclusion] The back squat in hip external rotation induced improvement of lumbar kyphosis, an increasing of the gluteus maximus activity and a decrease of both lumbar erector spinae and multifidus activities.

  • Unilateral rotation in baseball fielder causes low back pain contralateral to the hitting side.

    Tomoki Oshikawa, Yasuhiro Morimoto, Koji Kaneoka

    The journal of medical investigation : JMI   65 ( 1.2 ) 56 - 59  2018  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    Low back pain (LBP) often occurs in baseball players;however, the characteristics of the location of their LBP with respect to their throwing and hitting sides have not been clarified. In order to clarify the left-right asymmetry of LBP that occurs in baseball players, we surveyed 247 university baseball players using an LBP questionnaire. The main investigational items were:throwing and hitting side, position at the time of LBP experience, and LBP location. Based upon the indication of their throwing and hitting side, subjects were classified into unilateral rotational (UR) or bilateral rotational (BR) types. Subjects were also classified into categories of LBP location as described by ipsilateral or contralateral to dominant side of throwing or hitting. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test were used to compare LBP location side by rotational type (UR/BR) in all subjects and by position (pitcher/fielder). We found that among fielders, LBP occurring contralateral to the hitting side in UR was significantly more frequent than that in BR. We conclude that LBP occurred in baseball fielders with a left-right asymmetry, which suggests that high frequency unilateral rotation causes the lumbar region contralateral to the dominant hitting side to be subject to a high load.

  • Activity of the trunk and leg musculature during the flutter kick

    Koji Kaneoka, Atsushi Imai, Morimitsu Kohdate

    Sports Performance     305 - 312  2015.01

     View Summary

    © Springer Japan 2015. There are no in-depth biomechanical studies about swimming because detailed analyses of motion and muscle activity in water are difficult. In the present study, wemeasured the activity of trunk and leg muscles during the flutter kick, using a waterproof, wireless electromyographic system. Flutter kick movements were recorded by a waterproof high-speed camera, and were divided into four phases to analyze muscle activity in each phase: (1) hip extension-knee extension, (2) hip extension-knee flexion, (3)hip flexion-knee flexion, and (4) hip flexion-knee extension. The femoral biceps and gastrocnemius became active from Phase 1 to 2, the rectus femoris and vastus medialis became active from Phase 3 to 4, and the internal oblique muscle activity was high fromPhase 2 to 3. In this study, the muscle activity patterns during the flutter kick weredescribed. It was suggested that for this kick the internal oblique muscle has an important role during the switch over from hip extension to flexion.

  • 関節安定化機能を持つ深部筋群の機能解析研究

    2016   今井厚

     View Summary

    本研究の目的は各関節の深部筋の機能を明らかにすることであり、体幹・肩甲帯の機能が上肢障害にどのように関わっているのかをwire電極を使用した後脛骨筋や菱形筋の筋活動解析を実施した。 肩甲骨の安定に関与する菱形筋の筋活動解析では、姿勢の変化による影響について検討し、耳孔、肩峰、大転子が一直線に保たれている良姿勢に対し、耳孔及び肩峰が前方に突出している不良姿勢の菱形筋の筋活動量が低値を有意に示した。つまり不良姿勢では深部筋が適切に活動しておらず、適切なアライメント保持ができていない可能性があるといえる。足部のアーチ保持に関与する後脛骨筋の筋活動解析では、wire電極を用いて歩行や走行時の筋活動パターンを検証した。その結果、歩行の立脚期では、立脚初期と後期に二峰性の活動波形を示すことを確認した。一方、走行では筋活動波形は一峰性となったが、立脚初期に筋活動のピークが来ることが示された。このことから、立脚初期の活動は、接地と共に足部が回内し、内側縦アーチが低下するのを制動する役割を果たしていると考えられる。足部は歩行や走行時、唯一地面と接地する部位である。そのため、足部過回内による足部安定性の欠如は、床反力からの適切な荷重伝達を妨げ、運動機能異常に繋がる可能性がある。後脛骨筋は、このような運動機能異常を防ぐ動的関節安定化機能であると考える。&nbsp;

  • 競技スポーツ選手の体幹深部筋機能の解明 -腰部障害予防と運動機能向上に向けて-

    2013  

     View Summary

    体幹深部筋機能を向上させることで競技力の向上が期待される。そのため最も有効で実践的な体幹深部筋トレーニングの方法やトレーニング用具を開発することを目的として2013年度は研究を行ってきた。ジャンプ動作の前に体幹深部筋トレーニングを行うことでジャンプ力が向上すると報告されているが、トレーニングの最適な量や、実施する時期は明らかにされていない。そのためトレーニング量を変化させた際の効果の違い、トレーニング実施後の経過時間による効果の違いを検討するため以下の実験を行った。実験①トレーニング量と効果の検証:大学ラグビー選手30名を対象に、体幹深部筋トレーニング介入前後の垂直跳び到達高を計測し比較解析した。対象者を、一種目90秒合計360秒実施する群、45秒間合計180秒実施する群、介入しないコントロール群に分けて比較した。その結果、45秒群の跳躍高増加率はコントロールと比べて有意な増加を認めなかったのに対して、90秒群はコントロール群に比して有意に増加した。このことからトレーニング量は効果に影響を及ぼすことが明らかにされた。実験②トレーニング後の効果の持続時間の検証:競泳選手19名を対象に、トレーニング介入前後の蹴伸び(水中で壁を蹴って進む基本動作)の速度、最大到達距離を計測し、トレーニング後の時間経過による変化を解析した。体幹深部筋トレーニングは、Back Bridge、Side Bridgeドローイン、Prone Bridge(エルボーニー+手挙げ、エルボーニ―+脚挙げ)の5種目とした。各種目60秒、合計300秒実施した。蹴伸び試技の計測は、介入前、介入直後、15分後、30分後に行った。到達距離は指先の到達位置を目視で測定した。またハイスピードカメラを水中の2.5mと7.5m地点に設置し、被験者の右側から蹴伸び動作を撮影した。解析はImage Jを使用し、撮像した画像から座標を算出し、2.5m~7.5mの5m間の平均速度を算出した。また2.5mから前後10ms、計20msからそれぞれの瞬間速度を算出した。結果として、当初の予想に反して介入直後、15分後、30分後のいずれにおいても介入前と比べて、蹴伸びの速度、到達距離ともに有意な増加を認めなかった。今回の被験者は大学一流競泳選手であり、通常より体幹深部筋のトレーニングを行ってきていたため介入による変化を認めなかったことが考えられる。今後はより詳細な条件設定を行い効果を検証していく。

  • インターネットを用いた慢性腰痛者に対する運動療法介入研究

    2012  

     View Summary

    【緒言】腰痛を主訴として医療機関を受診し、画像検査によって明らかな疼痛出現部位を特定できる特異的腰痛は約2割程度であり、そのほかの約8割は明らかな原因を特定することのできない非特異的腰痛と言われている。特異的腰痛は主に整形外科において加療され、その治療方法は科学的に検証され、適正な治療方法が選択されている。病態が不明瞭な非特異的腰痛に対する治療方法の科学的検証は乏しく、最適な対処方法は明らかにされてはいないが、運動療法の有効性は数多く報告され、我々は中高齢者の慢性腰痛患者に対して体幹深部筋群のトレーニングを行いその有効性を確認している。今回同様の手法を用いて運動療法実施者の運動実践コンプライアンスをたかめ、より有効性を高めるために“インターネットを用いた慢性腰痛者に対する運動療法介入研究”を計画した。そのシステムの構築には相応の予算を必要とするため、今回の研究では実施には至らなかった。そのため、今後システムが構築された際に必要となる、非特異的腰痛者の病態解明を目的とした調査研究を実施した。【目的】非特異的腰痛者の腰痛発現部位を推定し、その実態を明らかにすること。【対象と方法】2008年から2012年の期間に腰痛を主訴に大学内の診療施設を受診した大学運動部員115名を対象とし、脊柱所見、圧痛部位、神経学的所見などの機能的診察所見から腰痛の病態分類を行った。【結果】腰椎の前屈時痛を有した者は59名(39%)で神経学的所見を伴った者は24名(16%、椎間板ヘルニア疑い)、伴わなかった者は35名(23%、椎間板障害疑い)であった。腰椎の伸展時痛を有した者は74名で後側方への伸展負荷(Kemp手技)で腰痛を誘発した者は56名(37%、椎間関節障害・分離症疑い)、伴わなかった者は18名であった。仙腸関節に圧痛を認めた者は24名で仙腸関節へのストレス負荷テストが陽性であった者は18名(12%、仙腸関節障害疑い)、認めなかった者は3名であった。また腰椎の前屈と伸展いずれも腰痛を誘発しない者は10名で傍脊柱筋に局所的圧痛を認めたものは1名(1%、筋筋膜性腰痛)、認めなかった者は9名であった。【考察】腰椎の機能的診察所見から腰部障害の病態を推定したところ、椎間板障害の疑いが39%、椎間関節障害の疑いが37%、仙腸関節障害の疑いが12%であった。これらの障害部位頻度が全ての世代の非特異的腰痛者に当てはまるとは限らないが、今後インターネットを介して、腰痛者の病態をアンケート等による遠隔診断を行う際の参考データとして有用であると考える。

  • スポーツ動作時の骨盤・胸郭挙動解析 ―腰椎分離症の予防対策考案に向けてー

    2009  

     View Summary

    スポーツ動作時に生じる体幹不安定性が腰椎分離症や椎間板障害を引き起こす一因であると考えられている。本研究では代表的な体幹回旋運動である、野球のバッティング動作、テニスのサービス動作、バドミントンのラケットスイング動作中の体幹筋群の活動を解析し、これらの動作時に体幹安定性を得るために必要とされている筋活動様式を明らかにする。【方法】健常人男性7名(年齢22.4±1.5歳)を被験者とした。被験筋は両側の腹直筋、外腹斜筋、脊柱起立筋、腹横筋、多裂筋とし、表層筋である腹直筋、外腹斜筋、脊柱起立筋は表面電極、体幹深部筋である腹横筋、多裂筋はワイヤー電極を用いて筋活動計測を行った。まず各被験筋の最大随意収縮(MVC)を測定した後、バッティング動作、テニスサービス動作、バドミントンラケットスイング動作を行わせ、その際の各筋の筋活動を解析した。またバッティングの際には重量の異なる4種類のバットで素振りを行わせた。【結果】右打ちのバッティング、右利きのテニスサービス、右利きのバドミントンフォアハンドスイングのいずれにおいても動作時には左の腹横筋の筋活動が増した。またバットの重量の違いによって体幹深部筋の筋活動には有意な変化を認めなかった。【考察】体幹を左回旋させる運動を行う際には左腹横筋の活動量増加を認めた。上肢を体幹から離れた位置で運動させる際に体幹には大きな回旋モーメントが発生する。その外力に対抗し体幹を安定させるために左腹横筋の活動を必要としたと考える。またバットの重量を変化させても深部筋活動に影響が出なかったことから、より重いバットを用いた際に増加した外力は腰椎への負荷として作用することが疑われ、これが腰椎分離症などの腰部障害の一因であることが示唆された。

    【背景】腰痛の原因の一つとされる椎間板変性症は、加齢に伴いある一定の頻度で発生するため、進行する高齢化社会により今後増加することが予測される。この椎間板変性の促進要因として、加齢、遺伝的要因、に加えて肥満、重労働、スポーツ活動などの力学的過負荷が挙げられている。また我々の行った中高齢者を対象とした横断調査の結果として、高脂血症などの生活習慣病関連因子も椎間板変性促進因子として疑われている。 高脂血症により椎間板への栄養動脈である分節動脈に粥状硬化が生じると髄核への栄養供給が阻害され、プロテオグリカン生成が抑制され椎間板変性が生じると推察される。この際、椎間板内の低酸素状態に反応し、血管新生を促すサイトカインであるVEGF(vascular endotherial growth factor)が発現し、椎間板内の血管新生が生じることが疑われる。Agrawalらは、椎間板内の低酸素状態が反応性にHIF(hypoxia inducible factor)を介してVEGFを発現し血管新生が生じることを報告している。高脂血症が椎間板変性を促進させるか否かの検証のために、高脂血症ウサギを対象として、椎間板内のVEGF発現を検証する研究を行った。【仮説】高脂血症ウサギの椎間板内にVEGFの発現を認める。【方法】遺伝的に高脂血症を発症するWatanabe Heredity Hyper-Lipidemia (WHHL)ウサギ3羽(平均6ヶ月齢)を対象とし、屠殺後に下位胸椎から仙椎までの腰椎を摘出し、合計12椎間の椎間板を採取し組織標本を作成し、VEGFを一次抗体として免疫染色を行った。コントロールとして正常ウサギ1羽の6椎間板を用いた。【結果】高脂血症ウサギの12椎間板及び正常ウサギ6椎間板のいずれも線維輪、髄核組織内にVEGFの発現は認められなかった。【考察】高脂血症が椎間板変性を促進する機序として、動脈硬化による椎間板内の低酸素状態を疑い、高脂血症ウサギ椎間板内のVEGF発現を評価したが、その発現を認めなかった。この結果から、高脂血症が椎間板変性を促進する機序としては本仮説とは異なる機序によるものと推察する。
