| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a new hybrid rehabilitation method by combining brain stimulation, peripheral electrical stimulation and repetitive movement for lower limb function reconstruction. After studies in healthy individuals, the affected M1 foot area was given rhythmic transcranial direct current stimulation synchronized with the walking rhythm of each individual for chronic poststroke patients. After repeated interventions in chronic stroke patients, their gait function improved. This suggests that brain stimulation synchronized with gait rhythm is a promising approach for inducing gait recovery (in submission). After developing the new method of lower extremity rehabilitation as originally intended, we performed the study in healthy people, and extended it to clinical application.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
慢性期脳卒中患者での下肢機能の再建を実現することができれば、車いす生活となっている多くの患者にとってのADL,QOLの著明な改善に繋がることが期待される。また、車いす就労は制限されているため、下肢機能の改善を可能とする技術開発は、高齢社会の日本において生産人口の増加という点でも寄与できる。
