| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop portable training equipment for hemiplegic upper limb and to examine its effect. We aimed to ensure adequate and sufficient exercise amount without intervention by a therapist, while being compact, lightweight and low cost so that it can be used in general hospitals, facilities and homes. We completed "automatic type" used for upper limbs of Brundstrom IV or higher as Portable Active Reach Training System (PARTS) and analyzed the difference in movement between healthy subjects who tried PARTS and hemiplegic patients. We also conducted clinical efficacy checks at cooperative hospitals. It was suggested that PARTS may be effective in restoring the function of some hemiplegic upper limbs.
