| 概要 | INTRODUCTION:Manual compression is frequently used clinically to elongate muscles. However, the mechanical and architectural responses of the muscles to compression in regions away from the compression point remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regional differences in mechanical and architectural responses to manual compression.METHODS:Twenty-two healthy adults participated in this study. The shear modulus of the medial gastrocnemius muscle was measured with and without compression at close and far points in regions proximal and distal to the compression point. The fascicle length was measured in regions proximal and distal to the compression point.RESULT:The shear moduli with compression were significantly higher than those without compression in the proximal region at points close (p < 0.001) and far away (p = 0.003). They were lower than those without compression at close (p < 0.001) and far points (p = 0.001) in the distal region. No significant difference in the change rates of the shear modulus was observed between close and far points in the proximal and distal regions (p = 0.293, 0.423). Fascicle length with compression was significantly longer than that without compression in proximal regions and shorter in distal regions (p = 0.001, 0.002).CONCLUSION:The increase in shear modulus and fascicle length in the region proximal to the compression point and the decrease in the distal region are related to the compression applied. Regional differences may exist in responses of the medial gastrocnemius muscle to clinical massage. |
