Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to compare oxygenation kinetics measured by slightly different placements of a near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS) probe during sustained isometric gripping. Oxygenation kinetics of sixteen young adult males was measured
with two NIRS probes attached to the flexor carpiradialis muscle during gripping for 3 min. One probe (channel 1) was attached
at one-third the length of a line from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the styloid process of radius. Another probe
(channel 2) was attached at the palmaris longus. Although the cross-correlation coefficients for the two probe placements
regarding oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb/Mb), deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxy-Hb/Mb) and tissue oxygenation saturation (StO2) were low (rxy, 0.119–0.405), Pearson’s correlation coefficients for the times to reach almost steady state for these parameters were very
high (oxy-Hb/Mb, r=0.878; deoxy-Hb/Mb, r=0.769; StO2, r=0.843; p<0.05). The difference of oxygenation kinetics between the probe placements may reflect the difference of fiber
recruitment characteristics in the flexion muscle group. In conclusion, to obtain a stable measurement, it is important that
the NIRS probe is placed at the same anatomical point. |
