Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have studied the role of physical rehabilitation on neuronal reconstruction after cerebral infarction. To elucidate the relationship between motor dysfunction and deficits in local region of cerebral cortex, we established the focal stroke mouse and rat model, which only have small size of infarction in distinct cortical area such as motor cortex. To determine the conditions of physical rehabilitation using treadmill, we measured blood lactic acid levels, oxygen consumption and respiratory rate during exercises. As a result, increasing the intensity of treadmill exercise revealed the anaerobic and lactate threshold similar to human. Moreover, evaluation of the motor function during gait using kinesiological analysis enabled us to detect the subtle impairment of the limb's function. These results can open the possibility to access the relationship between the exercise related lactate and functional recovery.
