| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To evaluate the effect of ultrasound and stretching on recovery from muscle injury, changes in muscle force production and myogenic gene expressions were investigated in an LC-induced muscle injury mode of rat. We established the LC-induced muscle injury model, whose injury was histologically confirmed to be equivalent. The results show that ultrasonic stimulation and stretching added once after muscle injury on the TA effectively promotes recovery from muscle injury according to histological and physiological evaluation. Additionally, during recovery from muscle injury the activation of muscle satellite cells early after muscle injury is suggested to be involved.
