  　View Summary

  PURPOSE: This study used ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) to evaluate the mechanical properties of hamstring muscles from cadaveric specimens with knee flexion contractures. METHODS: Hamstring muscles for tensile testing were harvested from Thiel soft-embalmed cadavers with and without knee flexion contracture. Muscle specimens were mounted on a testing machine. The initial load detected when a tensile load was applied to the distal end was used as the slack length. The cross-sectional areas of the muscle at slack length were measured at the proximal and distal sites using B-mode ultrasonography. Subsequently, the muscle specimen was elongated from the slack length to 8% strain, with the shear modulus measured using SWE. Young's modulus (stress/strain) was calculated based on the displacement and tensile force obtained from the tensile test. RESULTS: Regression analysis showed a significant positive linear relationship between the Young's and shear moduli for all specimens at all the sites (P < 0.01 and coefficient of determination: 0.95-0.99). The Young's and average shear moduli at the proximal and distal sites were higher in all hamstring muscles with contractures than in those without contractures. CONCLUSIONS: SWE can be used to estimate Young's moduli of hamstring muscles with contractures. Muscle specimens with contractures exhibited higher resistance to elongation, thereby indicating that their mechanical properties differed from those of muscles without contractures.

  　View Summary

  The purposes of this study were to investigate biomechanical characteristics of the subtalar joint and to develop a new ligament reconstruction procedure reproducing normal joint stability and kinematics. A three-dimensional robotic joint simulator was used to repeat joint motion in cadaveric foot specimens. The calcaneofibular ligament has a role to stabilize the subtalar joint. We acquired the data of in situ force and stabilizing contribution of the ligament during joint motion. Using the data we investigated appropriate initial tension of the grafted ligament to achieve normal hindfoot function. As a result, condition of 30 N of the initial tension reproduced joint stability and kinematics closest to the normal condition. These results will contribute to acquire better outcome following treatment of ankle ligament injury by understanding biomechanical characteristics of the ligament and improving operative procedures.

  　View Summary

  The purpose of this study was to evaluate mechanical property of the lateral ligament of the ankle and kinematics of the intact and ligament insufficient ankle model using cadaveric specimens. A 6-DOF robotic system consisting of a custom made 6-axis manipulator with a 6-DOF universal force/moment sensor was used. This study provided important baseline information such as injury mechanism or reconstruction surgeries of the ankle lateral ligament. This information is applicable for decision of the ankle position and tension of the graft during reconstructive surgeries, which will contribute improvement of outcome following surgical treatment of the lateral ligament injury of the ankle joint.

  足部への繰り返し荷重システム,制御・解析アプリケーションの開発:万能試験機,LEDマーカとCCDカメラで構成する微小変位解析システム,反復荷重負荷システムと組み合わせによる荷重-変位解析システムの開発を行った. 反復荷重-変位計測システムを用いた実験:正常未固定凍結標本を用い,後脛骨筋力(+)群と後脛骨筋力(一)群(それぞれn=7)で10,000cyclesの負荷試験を行い,足アーチ高の変化を計測した. 結果:足アーチ高は後脛骨筋力(+)群では3,000cycles以降も維持され正常範囲に保たれたが,後脛骨筋力(-)群では低アーチとなり,その後も低下し続け7,000cycles以降は後脛骨筋力(+)群と比べ有為に低下した.足アーチの維持には,骨・靭帯の受動的な構造だけでは十分ではなく,後脛骨筋によるダイナミックなサポートが不可欠であることが分かった.
