Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A word to describe the state of requiring care and high-risk condition by musculoskeletal disorders as “Locomotive syndrome” has been proposed. For evaluation of Locomotive syndrome, methods for analyzing ultrasound images of the gastrocnemius muscle and evaluating conditions, such as pannation angle, have been focused. In this study, we propose a method for automatic measurement of the angle of the gastrocnemius muscle fibers obtained by ultrasound device. First, we manually locate the muscle-fiber area from gastrocnemius muscle on B-mode images. Then, we created the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) from the muscle-fiber area and considered the displacement angle θ(-30°≦θ≦30°) of the GLCM with the minimal contrast as the angle of the gastrocnemius muscle fibers θf. In this study, for comparing the result with panneton angle measured by the expert, the pannation angle θp was determined by θ'p=θf+θs, in which the tilt angle θs of the aponeurosis was manually measured. When this method was applied to 109 cases, the correlation coefficient between the angle measured by this method and by the expert was 0.78.
