This study aims at the measurement and estimation of muscle fatigue. Viscoelasticity is calculated from the biomechanical impedance spectrum and EMG is measured. When isometric and isotonic muscle fatigue are created in the forearm, elasticity, viscosity and IEMG increase, and MNF decreases. Each variable change rate, however, is different in order to estimate muscle fatigue synthetically, PCA is calculated by using viscoelasticity and EMG. As a result, it is suggested that the 1st component expresses a change in muscle stiffness and the 2nd component expresses objective fatigue. The slope of the approximation line seems to correspond to the degree of muscle fatigue

A portable system has been developed for measuring biomechanical impedance on the skin surface. The measurement system comprises a measuring probe and a measuring device. The probe is of the pen-type. The device includes a random noise source, amplifiers, an A/D converter, a microcomputer, a liquid crystal display and a floppy disk unit. The biomechanical impedances on the skin surface are measured and the skin viscoelasticity are obtained. SI (stiffness index) is proposed as the new index of skin stiffness. The coefficient of correlation between SI and palpation scores is 0.797

The authors previously developed a mobile ecological momentary assessment (EMA) system as a real-time data collection device using a mobile phone. In this study, a real-time advice function and real-time reporting function were added to the previous system as a supportive intervention. The improved system was found to work effectively and was applied to several clinical cases, including patients with depressive disorder, dizziness, smoking habit, and bronchial asthma. The average patient compliance rate was high (89%) without the real-time advice and higher (93%) with the advice. The trends in clinical data for patients using a mobile EMA with/without the new function were analyzed for up to several months. In the case of dizziness, an improving trend in its clinical data was observed after applying the real-time advice, and in the case of depressive disorder, a stabilizing trend was observed. The mobile EMA system with the real-time advice function could be useful as a supportive intervention in behavior modification and for motivating patients in self-management of their disease.

It is used to monitor force production, fatigue, and contractile properties of muscle. In this study, the new electrode with accelerometer for electrostimulation and acoustic detection. It consists of Ag-AgCl active electrode and solid-gel annular groud, and a very light piezoresistive accelerometer. The recorded AMG waveform depends on the pulse amplitude and duration of stimulation current and its lag from the electroatimulation is about 7 ms. The strengh-duration (S-D) curve (the threshold current for stimulation vs. pulse duration) describes the excitability of muscle. The left forearm is electrostimulated by using the same electrode and the muscle vibration (AMG) is recorded with accelerometer. During the muscle fatigue, the S-D curve changes and the current threshold increases under the same pulse duration. The rheobase of S-D curve increases gradually but the chronaxie hardly changes during muscle fatigue. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YanagiMakoto kn-aut-sei=Yanagi kn-aut-mei=Makoto aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=32 cd-vols= no-issue=1-2 article-no= start-page=15 end-page=22 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1998 dt-pub=19980420 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Internal Structure and Viscoelasticity Estimation by a Mechanical Impedance - In case of a vibrating disk - en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In a stiffness estimation of living body, an internal structure under the skin influences the measured results. Because a different stiffness of body caused by bones and muscles is obtained. In this paper, by using a measurement system of mechanical impedance, the relations between a viscoelasticity and a distance from the surface of silicone-gel model is calculated. This relation is applied to silicone-gel tumor model and a shape and a viscoelasticity of semi-sphere silicone-gel tumous are estimated. The obtained results are expressed as a reconstructed 3-D image of shape / viscoelasticity. The revised curve-fitting of mechanical impedance and the cancellation of peripheral vibration influence are proposed in order to increase an estimation acccuracy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MoriMasahiro en-aut-sei=Mori en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name=森政弘 kn-aut-sei=森 kn-aut-mei=政弘 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=31 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=29 end-page=37 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1997 dt-pub=19970328 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Estimation of Loosening of Knee Joint Prosthesis en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Knee replacement arthroplasty is indicated for the patient with advanced knee pain, knee deformation, and knee functional disorder. The aim of this study was to estimate loosening after a knee replacement arthroplasty. Loosening is measured by a frequency response function, and mobility by random vibration. The modal parameters for the knee joint are obtained by applying a modal analysis to the frequency response function. The values decrease as the knee joint prosthesis loosened. These parameters serve as an index for the condition between a thighbone and the prosthesis. The various indexes will greatly clarify the stage of advance in the loosening of knee-joint prostheses. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhshimaMasakazu en-aut-sei=Ohshima en-aut-mei=Masakazu kn-aut-name=大島正和 kn-aut-sei=大島 kn-aut-mei=正和 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=31 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=21 end-page=27 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1997 dt-pub=19970328 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Estimation of Internal Viscoelasticity by Mechanical Impedance en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In evaluating the stiffness of skin surface, internal structures such as bone and muscle often affect the measurements.

This study proposed the objective estimating method of human emotion utilizing galvanic skin reflex (GSR) which reflects a human psychological activity. In this method, not by individual response, but by the series of response and pattern of appearance of GSR, the emotional response under appreciating music was investigated. In the case of appreciation of the same classic music to several subjects, the individual GSR responses are random and remarkable characteristic could not be find on the results. However, on the patterns of appearance of GSR, the patterns obtaining from the same generation are much similar each other and the patterns obtaining from different generation are less similar.

In order to examine a mechanical characteristics of periodontium, the theoretical displacement response to periodontal mechanical model (three elements model) are strictly solved in case of some pulse excitations. Impact excitations (rectangular, triangular and half-cycle sine pulse) are given in physical and mathematical definitions and complete solutions to the impact excitations are provided. The triangular pulse excitation which is obtained by means of a fracture of pencil-lead is most suitable. The mechanical parameters of periodontium are given using this input excitation. This is experimentally confirmed by artificial tooth model. The obtained mechanical characteristic of the periodontal tissues can be applied to clinical diagnosis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoTatsuma en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Tatsuma kn-aut-name=山本辰馬 kn-aut-sei=山本 kn-aut-mei=辰馬 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=IsayamaYoshiharu kn-aut-sei=Isayama kn-aut-mei=Yoshiharu aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=22 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=1 end-page=14 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1988 dt-pub=19880331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Measurement of Biomechanical Impedance - Its device and measuring conditions en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Biomechanical impedance is relatively small compared to industrial mechanical impedance. Thus it is difficult to measure it precisely. A biomechanical impedance measuring system was developed for portable use by means of random excitation. This system doesn't require a fixed body and vibrator supporting apparatus. In order to obtain an impedance spectrum, the FFT processing is performed using a personal computer. The spectra of the biomechanical impedance which is measured on body surfaces depend on body positions and can be roughly classified into three spectra patterns : soft, stiff and intermediate. During the measurement, the measuring conditions (preload, diameter of the vibrating tip etc.) influence the results. However, it became clear that the linearity of the biomechanical impedance was satisfied in the limited measuring conditions. Accordingly it is possible to standardize the impedance and to compare it with the results under different measuring conditions. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoTatsuma en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Tatsuma kn-aut-name=山本辰馬 kn-aut-sei=山本 kn-aut-mei=辰馬 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=29 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=39 end-page=47 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1995 dt-pub=19950327 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Correction of Apparent Viscoelasticity of Skin Surface en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The body structures under the skin surface, such as bones and tendon, have an influence on the stiffness evaluation observed from the surface.

In the tooth mobility examination, the tactile sense of natural teeth is different from that of dental implants. The authors have developed an automatic diagnosis system of tooth mobility for clinical use. The biomechanical mobility of peri-implantium is measured with a pseudo-random vibration, from which the viscoelasticity c1, c2, k of peri-implantium is obtained. The diagnosis system has been applied to the quantitative evaluation of the stability of implants : endodontics endosseous implants (titanium pin), endosseous implants (Bioceram). It has also been applied to the evaluation of the long-term prognoses of dental implantation (Bioceram) and the examination of Intramobile implant (IMZ), and the satisfactory results have been obtained. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoTatsuma en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Tatsuma kn-aut-name=山本辰馬 kn-aut-sei=山本 kn-aut-mei=辰馬 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=SarataniKeiji kn-aut-sei=Saratani kn-aut-mei=Keiji aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TanakaMasahiro kn-aut-sei=Tanaka kn-aut-mei=Masahiro aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KawazoeTakayoshi kn-aut-sei=Kawazoe kn-aut-mei=Takayoshi aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=The Second Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Osaka Dental University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=The Second Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Osaka Dental University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=The Second Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Osaka Dental University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=30 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=15 end-page=20 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1996 dt-pub=19960329 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Estimation of Muscle Fatigue of Low Back upon the Muscle Stiffness en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=An estimation of muscle fatigue is very important study and many laboratory researchers had done actively in this field.

There was a linear relationship between mechanical mobility at 400 Hz of the models and the IM scores (R(2) = 0.92). The IM checker could discriminate the mobility of dental implant models in twelve measurements with P < 0.01. There was no significant difference in the means of the IM score measured by four operators with P < 0.01.

Recently, utilizing for screening and prevention diagnosis of circulatory system diseases such as the arteriosclerosis from the blood pressure waveform gotten by this measurement technique is very actively being investigated. However, the sufficient analysis is not carried out on the deformation behavior of the blood vessel in real human body. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to construct the analyzable numerical model in respect of the applanation tonometry. As this result, following factors are necessary in the numerical analysis model of cross sectional structure of blood vessel for the principle analysis of the blood pressure waveform measurement for applanation tonometry. 1) Sensor block and skin surface must have the independent structure, and it must consider the friction in the contact area. 2) For the quantitative analysis, it is necessary to consider the hyper-elasticity which is a nonlinear material property. In addition, it is necessary to accurately model the initial shapes of the material. kn-abstract=生体内の血圧脈波を非侵襲的に計測する手法として,「トノメトリ法」が知られており,近年,この計測手法を用いて得られた血圧脈波波形から,動脈硬化などの循環器系疾患のスクリーニングや予防診断に役立てようという動きが活発である。しかしながら,組織内の血管を圧迫した場合の血管の変形挙動については,十分な解析は行われていない。そこで本研究では,生体中のトノメトリ状態を解析可能な数値解析モデルを構築することを目的とした。この結果, トノメトリ法による血圧脈波計測の原理解析を行うための血管断面構造の応力解析モデルには,以下の要件が求められることが明らかとなった。・センサ部と皮膚表面はそれぞれ独立な要素としてモデル化し,これらの接触部においては摩擦を考慮しなければならない。・応力の定量的な解析を行うためには,素材の非線形的な機械的特性を考慮する必要がある。さらに,実験結果と計算結果を一致させるためには,初期形状を正確にモデル化することが必要であることがわかった。 en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KitawakiTomoki en-aut-sei=Kitawaki en-aut-mei=Tomoki kn-aut-name=北脇知己 kn-aut-sei=北脇 kn-aut-mei=知己 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部保健学科検査技術科学専攻 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部保健学科検査技術科学専攻 en-keyword=トノメトリ法 (Applanation tonometry) kn-keyword=トノメトリ法 (Applanation tonometry) en-keyword=有限要素法 (Finite Element Model) kn-keyword=有限要素法 (Finite Element Model) en-keyword=数値解析モデル (Numerical calculation) kn-keyword=数値解析モデル (Numerical calculation) en-keyword=血圧計測 (Blood pressure measurement) kn-keyword=血圧計測 (Blood pressure measurement) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=16 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=1 end-page=8 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2005 dt-pub=20051225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Development of intramuscular probe for local muscle function kn-title=局所筋機能測定のための筋内挿入型プローブの開発 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=In order to diagnose muscle function or dysfunction, surface/needle electromyograms, muscle biopsy, biochemical markers inspection, muscle tone, etc. are carried out. It is difficult to measure muscle function continuously by using these methods. In this study, an intramuscular probe and measurement system were developed. The probe is composed of optical fibers and six small platinum electrodes. The probe, the tip of which is protected by epoxy resin, is inserted in a cannula of 1.26mm in diameter. By using the fibers, the local blood flow in a muscle and the intramuscular pressure were measured. By using six electrodes (50μm in diameter), a motor unit action potential was measured. The time-course changes of the action potential, blood flow and intramuscular pressure were measured in the gastrocnemius muscle of rats under the resting and the local ischemia. The tibial nerve was stimulated electrically using the current of the unipolar and negative polarity with 50μs pulse duration every 2 seconds and the propagation velocity of the action potential was calculated from the potential waves. The animal tests using rats were carried out in order to verify the developed probe and system. Under the local ischemia, the action potential, the blood flow and the intramuscular pressure decreased and the propagation velocity became slower. When dantrolene sodium was injected, which inhibits the calcium release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the intramuscular pressure decreased but the action potential wave was still detectable. kn-abstract=臨床においては,筋機能や機能不全を診断するために,表面筋電図や針筋電図,筋生検などが行われている。しかし,これらの方法では筋機能や筋収縮メカニズムを連続的に測定することは難しい。本研究では新たに筋内挿入型プローブと測定システムを開発した。測定プローブは光ファイバと6本の白金細線から構成されている。光ファイバを用いて筋の局所血流量と筋内圧力を測定し,6個の電極を用いて運動単位活動電位を測定した。プローブと測定システムの基礎特性を確認した後,麻酔下のラットの排腹筋において,安静時および局所虚血時の活動電位,血流量,筋内圧力を測定した。また脛骨神経を電気刺激し,活動電位波形から伝播速度を算出したところ,プローブは正常に動作していることが確認できた。さらに筋小胞体からのカルシウム放出チャネルを抑制するdantroleneを筋注すると,筋内圧力波形は大きく減少したが,活動電位波形はほとんど変化しないことがわかった。 en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=EdamatsuMotonari en-aut-sei=Edamatsu en-aut-mei=Motonari kn-aut-name=枝松幹也 kn-aut-sei=枝松 kn-aut-mei=幹也 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeShogo en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Shogo kn-aut-name=渡辺彰吾 kn-aut-sei=渡辺 kn-aut-mei=彰吾 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitawakiTomoki en-aut-sei=Kitawaki en-aut-mei=Tomoki kn-aut-name=北脇知己 kn-aut-sei=北脇 kn-aut-mei=知己 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部保健学科検査技術科学専攻 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=朝日インテック株式会社 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院保健学研究科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部保健学科検査技術科学専攻 en-keyword=筋機能 (muscle function) kn-keyword=筋機能 (muscle function) en-keyword=筋内圧力 (intramuscular pressure) kn-keyword=筋内圧力 (intramuscular pressure) en-keyword=筋内血流 (intramuscular blood flow) kn-keyword=筋内血流 (intramuscular blood flow) en-keyword=活動電位 (action potential) kn-keyword=活動電位 (action potential) en-keyword=筋収縮 (muscle contraction) kn-keyword=筋収縮 (muscle contraction) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=11 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=25 end-page=34 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2000 dt-pub=20001116 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=歯科インプラント動揺測定装置の開発 kn-title=Development of a dental implant movement checker en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=臨床歯科において,歯の動揺度診査が日常的に行われているのと同じように,近年行われるようになってきた歯科インプラント施術においても,その植立評価は重要である。歯の動揺は,歯の治療計画において,また予後の評価においても重要な情報を与えてくれる。本研究では,その植立評価を行うために,インプラントの動揺に着目した。動揺を簡便にかつ定量的に測定するために,著者らがすでに開発したT-Mテスタ(Tooth Mobility tester)を改良して,IMチェッカ(Implant Mobility Checker)を開発した。IMチェッカは測定プローブと増幅器などのインタフェース,演算処理用のノートパソコンから構成される。測定プローブは圧電素子を2枚重ねたバイモルフ構造で,単一周波数の振動駆動と加速度検出を行い,口腔内でも測定ができるほどに小型に設計した。ノートパソコンでは得られた加速度信号をデータ処理し,IM値を算出する。IM値は,測定周波数と駆動力が一 定の場合,インプラント周囲の機械モビリティに比例するので,インプラントの動揺を数値化することができる。内可動性機構をもつIMZタイプのインプラントを埋植したモデルを製作し,そのIM値を測定した。インプラント周囲の材料(モルテノ(@))の硬さを変えた2種類のモデルを作製したところ,歯科医による臨床的動揺度診査はいずれもM0であったが,本チェッカによってその動揺の差を測定したところ,IM値は29と58となり,客観的に動揺の差を評価することができた。試作したIMチェッカで測定したところ,一歯の測定時間は約15秒以下であり,また測定のばらつきは術者内で平均6%以下,また術者間で6%以下であった。一方,従来のアナログ型T-Mテスタと比較したところ,天然歯の測定において,測定のばらつきは51%,測定時間は61%減少させることができた。従って,IMチェッカは十分な測定精度を確保できており,今後,臨床での試用を行いたいと考える。 kn-abstract=Evaluation of dental implantation is very important because it gives useful information for both planning the dental treatment and evaluating of prognosis. This study aimed at improving our previously developed Tooth Mobility (TM) tester and developing a dental implant movement (IM) checker. The measuring probe included a bimorph transducer of two piezoelectric elements. It was actuated by single frequency and detected tooth acceleration. The acceleration signal was processed and the IM score was calculated in PC. Two artificial implant models in which IMZ implant was buried with different elasticity of surrounding (molteno(@)) were used to examine the performance of the IM checker. The IM scores obtained in the models were 29 and 58. The measurement time was below 15 seconds. The average of measurement variation of one operator was below 6% and the average variation among five operators was below also 6%. The IM checker reduced a measurement variation by 51% and a measuring time by 61% compared with those of the TM tester in natural teeth. The newly developed IM checker had sufficient measuring reliability and we could objectively estimate the implant movement in dental clinics. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OkaHisao en-aut-sei=Oka en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name=岡久雄 kn-aut-sei=岡 kn-aut-mei=久雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OnoKoichi en-aut-sei=Ono en-aut-mei=Koichi kn-aut-name=小野浩一 kn-aut-sei=小野 kn-aut-mei=浩一 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=WijayaSastra Kusuma kn-aut-sei=Wijaya kn-aut-mei=Sastra Kusuma aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SarataniKeiji en-aut-sei=Saratani en-aut-mei=Keiji kn-aut-name=更谷啓治 kn-aut-sei=更谷 kn-aut-mei=啓治 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawazoeTakayoshi en-aut-sei=Kawazoe en-aut-mei=Takayoshi kn-aut-name=川添堯彬 kn-aut-sei=川添 kn-aut-mei=堯彬 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部保健学科検査技術科学専攻 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=㈱エプソン・プリンタ設計グループ affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科知能開発科学専攻 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=大阪歯科大学有歯補綴咬合学講座 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=大阪歯科大学有歯補綴咬合学講座 en-keyword=tooth mobility (歯の動揺) kn-keyword=tooth mobility (歯の動揺) en-keyword=mechanical mobility (機械モビリティ) kn-keyword=mechanical mobility (機械モビリティ) en-keyword=dental implant (インプラント) kn-keyword=dental implant (インプラント) en-keyword=manual examination (触診) kn-keyword=manual examination (触診) END
