Torii Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab is a musculoskeletal research lab that examines the growing body and sports injuries.
AboutAbout the lab
Sports injuries seen through muscles, tendons, and bones.
The Torii Lab is a lab for musculoskeletal sports medicine.
The musculoskeletal system refers to the organs involved in movement, including muscles, tendons, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves.
In the lab's exercises, students learn the basic structure of each part of the musculoskeletal system, knowledge of typical sports injuries (acute trauma and overuse injuries), and how to assess them.
The lab also measures bone density in growing children and athletes, and conducts medical checks for teams.
Key terms
- Musculoskeletal system
- The group of organs involved in moving the body, including muscles, tendons, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves
- Sports trauma and overuse injuries
- Injuries caused by a single large force (trauma), and injuries that develop gradually from repeated stress (overuse injuries)
- Medical check
- Measuring and examining in advance the physical conditions that can lead to injury or health problems

ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates injuries of the musculoskeletal system in relation to stages of growth. Through measurements at schools and with sports teams, it identifies physical characteristics that make injuries more likely.
*Illustrative imageBone and development during growth
The lab measures bone density and bone mass in elementary and junior high school students, and investigates how growth in height and the development of different parts of the body proceed in relation to the amount of bone.
*Illustrative imageMusculoskeletal injuries and their assessment
The lab studies musculoskeletal injuries that occur in sport, such as muscle strains, low back pain, and tendon disorders, including how they come about and how to assess the condition of the body.
*Illustrative imageMedical checks for teams
The lab conducts medical checks for soccer and track and field teams, and continues its efforts to detect early the physical conditions that lead to injury.
