| Research Abstract |
In order to take advantage of the evaluation of rehabilitation therapy of trunk or shoulder joint region, the purpose of this study was to propose the assessment technique of muscle activity which induced exercise using muscle functional MRI (mfMRI). In this study, we mainly worked on improvement of the temporal resolution and improvement of image quality on the acquisition image. As a result, improvement of new mfMRI (fast-acquired muscle functional MRI: fast-mfMRI) which we suggested was successful. If you take advantage of the improved fast-mfMRI, it is also possible to evaluate the muscle activity of the region in shoulder joint and the trunk.
