Abstract

<p>[Purpose] To clarify the relationship between the muscle cross-sectional areas (MCSA) of each longitudinal muscle region and the muscle torque of the lower leg while sitting. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 30 healthy young males and females. The participants sat with the ankle in the neutral position. MCSA images were obtained using gravity MRI, which can be performed in any body position. Five points of the soleus, anterior tibialis, and medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius were selected and measured. Muscle torque was measured using a hand-held dynamometer. [Results] The muscle torque correlated with the MCSA of the distal 1/4 and the most distal parts of the female lateral heads of the gastrocnemius. The muscle torque correlated with the proximal 1/4 part of the male anterior tibialis, and the middle and the maximum MCSA parts of the female anterior tibialis. [Conclusion] The MCSA of the parts related to maximum muscle torque depend on both muscle and gender, and it is necessary to consider the longitudinal part of the muscle when estimating the muscle torque from images.</p>
