We performed metabolic imaging of the lower leg skeletal muscle groups and brain metabolism during calf raises (heel raises) in the standing posture used in daily life, quantifying changes in skeletal muscle activity dynamics during postural changes. We also examined the relationship between changes in muscle activity due to postural changes and brain activity.
Others
We will perform metabolic imaging of skeletal muscle and the brain during voluntary movement using electrical stimulation (EMS) to skeletal muscle and a bicycle ergometer. This will clarify the differences in tissue metabolism between EMS to skeletal muscle (an involuntary movement) and voluntary movement.
This study compares changes in muscle activity dynamics during exercise due to postural changes and the effects of electrical stimulation on movement with voluntary movement. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using the glucose analog FDG allows investigation of skeletal muscle dynamics during low- to moderate-intensity exercise. The exercises include calf raises and low-intensity cycling, lasting approximately 30 minutes to ensure safety.
