Abstract

The Interdepartmental Research Centre of Myology (CIR-Myo), Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Padova, Italy and the A&C M-C Foundation for Translational Myology, Padova, Italy organized with the scientific support of Helmut Kern, Jonathan C. Jarvis, Viviana Moresi, Marco Narici, Feliciano Protasi, Marco Sandri and Ugo Carraro, the 2019SpringPaduaMuscleDays: Translational Myology and Mobility Medicine, an International Conference held March 28-30, 2019 in Euganei Hills and Padova (Italy). Presentations and discussions of the Three Physiology Lectures and of the seven Sessions (I: Spinal Cord Neuromodulation and h-bFES in SC; II: Muscle epigenetics in aging and myopathies; III: Experimental approaches in animal models; IV: Face and Voice Rejuvenation; V: Muscle Imaging; VI: Official Meeting of the EU Center of Active Aging; VII: Early Rehabilitation after knee and hip replacement) were at very high levels. This was true in the past and will be true in future events thanks to researchers and clinicians who were and are eager to attend the PaduaMuscleDays.

Muscle Color Computed Tomography of thigh muscles. It is worth noting that even starting at 3 years post SCI, 2 years of h-bFES is able to induce a substantial recovery of the Hamstring muscles.

A; First ever 3D visualization (yellow) of the Intramuscular Connective Tissue network acquired with innovative UTE imaging. B; Principal component of the Strain rate tensor (SRT). Inset shows angle in Young (240 left) and Old (140 right) between fiber direction (black) and Principal component of SRT (blue). Larger angles may imply larger contributions from lateral compared to longitudinal force transmission (along muscle fiber direction).

Strain rate maps of the normal strain rates (SRfiber, SRin-plane) and shear strain rates (SR fc-max) in a young and a senior subject at the same force level. The maps show lower values in both the normal and shear strain rates in the senior subject.
