| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the differences in brain activity between voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and hand grasping and the changes in brain activity before and after pelvic floor muscle training in young, healthy women without urinary incontinence. Although no significant differences in brain activity were found between the hand grasping and pelvic floor muscle contraction tasks, there was a tendency for variations in cerebral blood flow within the specific regions of interest, namely the supplementary motor area and premotor cortex, during these tasks. Moreover, individual differences in brain activity were observed between pelvic floor muscle contraction and hand grasping for each subject. Furthermore, despite the observed improvement in pelvic floor muscles after the training sessions, the discrepancies in brain activity could not be definitively elucidated.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
骨盤底筋群の随意収縮を脳機能の側面から理解することは、学習効果の高い運動療法の開発において重要である。本研究（骨盤底筋群の随意収縮と手指の握り動作における脳活動の違い、および骨盤底筋群のトレーニング前後での脳活動の変化）の結果より、脳活動には個人差があること、補足運動野と運動前野に脳血流量に違いがある傾向はみられた。これらの結果から、脳活動の変化を考慮した、学習効果の高い運動療法の開発に貢献でき、尿失禁に悩む女性のQOL向上につながる社会的意義があると考える。
