Electrical-tomographic imaging of physiological-induced conductive response in calf muscle compartments during voltage intensity change of electrical muscle stimulation ( vic -EMS)

Objectives . The electrical-tomographic imaging has been achieved for exploring differential tendency of physiological-induced conductive response in calf muscle compartments during voltage intensity change of electrical muscle stimulation ( vic -EMS). Approach . In the experiments, the differential tendency of conductivity distribution images σ during vic -EMS were clearly imaged as three responsive muscle compartments, which are called M 1 compartment composed of gastrocnemius muscle, M 2 compartment composed of tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus longus muscles, and M 3 compartment composed of soleus muscle. Main results . The differential tendency of spatial-mean conductivity 〈 σ 〉 M 1 is the same as the differential tendency of venous blood flow velocity v bl and blood lactate concentration C ...
