Kaneoka Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies low back pain and sports injuries from an orthopedic perspective.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the systems that support the body, starting with the deep muscles.
The Kaneoka Lab clarifies how the human body functions from the standpoint of sports orthopedics.
It investigates how low back pain, spinal disorders, and sports injuries occur.
The lab uses electromyography to capture the activity of deep muscles in the body and explores the mechanisms that stabilize joints.
It applies its findings to injury prevention, rehabilitation, and improving athletic performance and quality of life.
Key terms
- Intervertebral disc
- Tissue between the bones of the spine that acts as a cushion
- Motor control
- The mechanism by which the brain and nerves send commands to muscles to regulate body movement
- Electromyography
- A method of recording the electrical signals produced when muscles work, in order to examine the intensity and sequence of muscle activity
NewsLab news
A joint study with Prof. Kaneoka's participation reported muscle synergies during change-of-direction movements in athletes with a history of groin pain
A joint study with Institute of Science Tokyo reported in Scientific Reports on the turning point in age-related decline of musculoskeletal function
Sports Medicine Gairon (Introduction to Sports Medicine; Bunkodo), to which Prof. Kaneoka contributed chapters, was published
Undo Ryoho Kindenzukan (an illustrated guide to electromyography for therapeutic exercise; Bunkodo), authored by Prof. Kaneoka, was published
ResearchResearch themes
The lab clarifies how the human body functions and applies this to methods for preventing orthopedic disorders and improving athletic performance and quality of life. In the undergraduate lab seminar, students turn questions they encounter in sports settings into their own hypotheses and test them in their graduation research.
*Illustrative imageLow Back Pain and Spinal Disorders
The lab investigates how low back pain and intervertebral disc degeneration arise in sports, and uses the findings to develop methods of prevention and treatment.
*Illustrative imageTrunk Motor Control
The lab uses electromyography to clarify how the deep muscles of the body work to stabilize joints.
*Illustrative imageAthletic Rehabilitation
The lab designs therapeutic exercise programs based on measurements of muscle activity, aimed at returning to sport after musculoskeletal injuries and preventing recurrence.
