| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present study was to development and test whether a haptic biofeedback system for balance rehabilitation contributes to an improved postural stability and ability of the weight-shifting in patients with stroke. As for the postural stability, our study showed that balance task with a haptic based biofeedback system that provided supplementary sensory cues associated with center of foot pressure displacement has effects on the improvement of the postural stability in stroke patients. Further, in terms of the weight shift task, we conducted an experiment to produce a Weber’s fraction capable of calculating a just-noticeable difference during a weight-shifting task. We then applied this Weber’s fraction to a weight-shifting task in patients with stroke. Using the implicit guidance method, the patients did not perceive an increase in weight bearing while weight shifting. Furthermore, the implicit guidance method appeared to improve symmetry during walking.
