Measurement of Muscle Strength of Triceps Surae with a Hand-Held Dynamometer

Rigakuryoho Kagaku, 2008
〔目的〕本研究は，ハンドヘルドダイナモメーター（HHD）を用いた下腿三頭筋筋力測定用の固定ベルトを開発したので，測定の信頼性について調査することを目的とした。〔対象〕検者内信頼性の調査が健常成人11名22肢，検者間信頼性の調査が健常成人10名20肢とした。〔方法〕下腿三頭筋筋力測定は，長座位にて後側方に両手を着き，十分な練習後に固定ベルトを用いて等尺性足関節底屈運動を測定し，級内相関係数（ICC）を用い信頼性を検討した。〔結果〕検者内信頼性がICCにて0.924，検者間信頼性がICCにて0.809であった。〔結語〕臨床上の使用に耐えうる客観性・信頼性のある測定が，誰にでも実施可能であると考える。

A Randomized, Sham‐Controlled Trial of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Targeting M1 and S2 in Central Poststroke Pain: A Pilot Trial

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),
