Maemichi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that examines the foot with ultrasound imaging to help prevent injuries.
AboutAbout the lab
Preventing injuries from the ground up.
The Maemichi Lab specializes in sports medicine and athletic training.
Focusing on the foot and ankle, the lab uses ultrasound images to examine the shape and function of tissues.
It studies the mechanisms of the parts that contact the ground, such as the fat tissue beneath the heel and the movement of the ankle.
The lab aims to put its findings to use in preventing sports injuries and in rehabilitation.
Key terms
- Ultrasound imaging diagnosis
- An examination that applies ultrasound to the body to view the condition of internal muscles and tendons
- Ankle joint
- The joint connecting the shin and the foot; the joint commonly called the ankle
- Heel fat pad
- Fat tissue beneath the heel bone that cushions the impact of landing

*Illustrative imageWatching Muscle Movement with Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging makes it possible to see muscle movement inside the body in real time. The lab uses ultrasound to evaluate how muscles contract when electricity is passed through acupuncture needles, and is considering applying this to the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries.
*Illustrative imagePreventing Injuries Through Equipment and Movement
How does leg movement change when running in thick-soled running shoes? The lab measures how shoe and palm conditions affect movement and force, and uses motion analysis for injury prevention.
