About this trial

Demonstration of soft tissue hypoxia on MRI using external compression and muscle contraction.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Alert and oriented.

Able to lift 10lbs. and hold for 30 seconds

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Compression and Contraction

    Procedure/Surgery

    Standard orthopedic Sarmiento brace/ shell applied to participant's arm. Inside the brace will be a standard blood pressure cuff with a soft foam attached. Pressure will be applied intermittently with blood pressure cuff. Participant will also be asked to lift MRI compatible 10 lb. weight.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Muscle oxygen level

Using functional MRI to evaluate effect of muscle compression on muscle oxygen. Demonstrating statistically significant change in muscle oxygen in tissues with application of tissue compression and muscle contraction compared to the same, non-compressed tissues with only muscle contraction

Time frame
Day 1, during procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Deep tissue oxygen level

Using functional MRI to evaluate the effect of muscle compression and contraction on deep tissue oxygen. Demonstrate statistically greater decreased tissue oxygenation in the deep soft tissues compared to the superficial tissues below the deforming element, during application of tissue compression, during muscle contraction as well during application of tissue compression and muscle contraction.
