| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is improving the quality of life for Parkinson's disease patient, in order to investigate the effect of low frequency vibration stimulation on muscle rigidity, we developed a low frequency whole body oscillating device. As a result of clinical trials on patients, significant improvement was observed in muscle rigidity and limb movements. In order to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the muscle rigidity, we developed a forearm fluctuation device that mechanically bend and stretch the patient's forearm instead of a doctor and a measurement system. We evaluated them using the prepared mechanical pseudo forearms and clarified the advantages and improvements.
