  • Relationships among electromyogram, displacement and velocity of the center of pressure, and muscle stiffness of the medial gastrocnemius muscle during quiet standing

    Uchiyama T., Kondo G.

    Advanced Biomedical Engineering （Advanced Biomedical Engineering)  9   138 - 145 2020.08

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted

    　View Summary

    © 2020 The Author(s). Medial gastrocnemius muscle stiffness was estimated using a system identification technique. The medial gastrocnemius muscle was electrically stimulated using surface Ag-AgCl electrodes and the center of pressure fluctuation in the forward-backward direction was measured with a force plate. Electrically induced fluctuation of the center of pressure was classified according to the displacement and velocity of the center of pressure. The classified steps of displacement and velocity were 0.2 cm and 0.2 cm/s, respectively. The ranges of the classes were ±0.15 cm and ±0.15 cm/s. The classified fluctuations were synchronously averaged and the averaged fluctuation was regarded as an output signal of the transfer function from the electrical stimulation to the fluctuation. The transfer function was identified as an estimate of muscle stiffness using a singular value de-composition method. The average muscle stiffness of eight young male participants ranged from 56.7 to 75.9 N/m. Muscle stiffness was high when the displacement of the center of pressure was positive and the velocity was negative. These characteristics resembled the preceding 0.3 s of the electromyogram. This preceding high muscle activity probably contributed to muscle stiffness. Muscle stiffness was well approximated with a multiple linear regression plane, in which the explanatory variables were the displacement and velocity of the center of pressure.

  • Accurate natural frequency estimation method for myotonometer using a system identification method

    Uchiyama T., Ogura Y.

    Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering （Transactions of Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering)  58 （ Proc ） 598 - 599 2020

    ISSN  18814379

    　View Summary

    The purpose of this study is to propose a novel method to estimate natural frequency using a myotonometer with the aid of a system identification technique. A myotonometer is an instrument that measures muscle hardness based on an indentation method. We utilized a MyotonPRO (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia) as a myotonometer. The myotonometer applies a mechanical rectangular pulse to an object and records the acceleration of the indenter. The built-in program of the myotonometer calculates the natural frequency of the object from the recorded acceleration with fast Fourier transformation. This calculation, however, showed the dependency of the natural frequency on the rectangular pulse width. To overcome the dependency, we propose a novel technique to estimate the natural frequency. Our proposed method extracted the acceleration that was not affected by the rectangular mechanical pulse. Then the extracted acceleration was regarded as an output of a system from the mechanical pulse to the acceleration. The transfer function of the system was identified, and then the natural frequency of the transfer function was calculated. We applied the proposed method to the estimation of the natural frequency of a gel-like object mimicking human soft tissue. The proposed method provided a smaller standard deviation of the natural frequency than the built-in program of the myotonometer.

  • Relationship between medial gastrocnemius muscle stiffness and the angle between the rearfoot and floor

    Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, EMBS （Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, EMBS)     6860 - 6863 2019.07

    ISSN  9781538613115

    　View Summary

    © 2019 IEEE. The present study examined the stiffness in the medial gastrocnemius muscle at various angles between the rearfoot and the floor. Six healthy young men participated in the study. A triangle support was attached to the force plate. Each participant placed their forefoot and rearfoot onto the force plate and the triangle support, respectively. Electrical stimulation was applied to the medial gastrocnemius muscle using Ag-AgCl surface electrodes. The center of pressure was measured with the force plate, and electrically-induced fluctuation of the center of pressure was extracted using a Kalman filter. Measurements were performed at 10°, 20°, and 30°angles of the triangle support. The transfer function from the stimulation to the fluctuation was identified, and the poles of the transfer function were used to estimate the medial gastrocnemius muscle and ankle stiffness. The muscle stiffness increased as the angle of the triangle support increased.

    　View Summary

    © 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd. Objective: Muscle hardness measured by a push-in meter is calculated from a force-displacement curve (FDC) based on a two-layer spring model. Since a FDC is not linear, how to set a linear range in the FDC largely affects muscle hardness calculation. The present study investigated the linearity of the FDC to find the best portion relative to muscle thickness (MT) for muscle hardness measurement based on a two-layer spring model. Approach: Forty-seven men (age: 28 ±10 years, height: 176 ±7 cm, body mass: 73 ±11 kg) participated in the present study. Hardness of the biceps brachii muscle was measured at the mid-belly using a push-in meter. The FDC was obtained every 5% up to 50% of the MT, and linear regression equations of ten different portions within the FDC were calculated. The coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of each regression line was compared by ANOVA, and a piecewise linear regression analysis was performed by dividing the identified FDC into three linear segments. Results: One-way ANOVA showed a significant (p < 0.01) main effect in R 2 values of ten regression equations. Post-hoc analyses showed no significant differences in R 2 between 0%-15% MT and 0%-40% MT. While the linearity of the FDC was high between 0%-15% and 0%-40% MT, the highest R 2 value was found at 0%-25% and 0%-30% MT. According to the analysis of three linear segments in the FDC, the mean value of the point between the second and third segments was 28.5 ±4.3% MT. Significance: These results suggested that muscle hardness assessment using a push-in meter should be performed close to 30% MT depth for biceps brachii muscle.

  • Stiffness and viscosity of the vastus lateralis muscle in cycling exercises at low constant power output

    　View Summary

    © 2018, Japanese Society for Medical and Biological Engineering. All rights reserved. We examined muscle stiffness at various pedaling rates under conditions of constant power output. Eight healthy young participants pedaled a cycle ergometer at a power output of 47 W. The combinations of pedaling rate and workload were 40 revolutions per min (rpm) and 11.7 N, 60 rpm and 7.8 N, and 80 rpm and 5.9 N, respectively. One electrical stimulus per two pedal rotations was applied to the vastus lateralis muscle at a crank angle of 30° in the down phase. Mechanomyograms (MMGs) were measured using a capacitor microphone, and the evoked MMG was extracted. An evoked MMG system was identified, and the coefficients of the denominator of the transfer function were used to estimate stiffness and viscous coefficient of the muscle. Muscle stiffness was 236–705 Nm−1, and was proportional to the pedaling rate when power output was held constant, while the viscous coefficient did not change from approximately 15 Nm−1s. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that stiffness of the vastus lateralis muscle increases with increasing pedaling rate under conditions of constant power output, while the viscous coefficient does not change.
