Each metatarsus of the left foot in healthy young adults (n = 9, 19 to 35 years old) and in healthy older persons (n = 10, 42 to 72 years old) was examined in vivo using a self-constructed loading-unloading device at low, medium and high impact status; the impact velocities of the device were about 2.5, 5 and 10 cm/s, respectively. The device comprised a 5- to 12-MHz linear-array ultrasound transducer, a miniature load cell and a fixation frame. From low to high impact status, the elastic modulus (E) in young adults significantly increased from about 300 kPa to about 500 kPa. However, the E in the older group did not show this trend. From low to high impact status, the energy dissipation ratio (EDR) of the metatarsus significantly increased from about 30% to about 60% in the young group and significantly increased from about 40% to about 70% in the older group. Most of the metatarsus in the older subjects had significantly greater E and EDR than those in the younger persons. ? 2005 World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology. |
