| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of micro-force traction on the hip joint regarding the subjective walking motion. Tractions of 0, 1, and 10 kg were carried out using a leg for 20 s, via an automatic traction system. As the result, the hip joint micro traction (1kg) is effective for improving the walking sensation of the subject and increasing the range of motion of the hip joint and knee joint for walking motion.
It was suggested that the micro-force traction therapy improves walking motion and contribute to maintenances of walking function.
