SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MUSCLE FUNCTION AND METABOLISM

摘要

The present invention provides systems and methods for correlating dynamic muscle function and metabolism as a comprehensive approach to analyzing localized muscle physiology. In one aspect, the invention provides systems and methods for measuring and analyzing muscle force production and tissue metabolism. In one aspect, these are simultaneously monitored during isotonic muscle movements as an assessment of muscle physiology. In one aspect, the invention provides systems and methods for measuring changes in reflected and/or attenuated spectral features of whole blood in tissues before, during and after performance of repetitive tasks.
