| Outline of Research at the Start |
The reliability issues of available body-weight support (BWS) to provide spinal support during long duration locomotor training of spinal injured people lead to development of dynamic spinal support (DSS) in preventing the injury to become worse and enhance their recovery rate.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The development of dynamic spinal support for locomotor training with body-weight support has been conducted for the preliminary study and validation of the spinal palpation method for the data collection using radiography imaging.
It was performed with collaboration with Fuji Onsen Hospital (Fuefuki-city, Yamanashi-prefecture, Japan).
The detail of this research has been submitted for publication in journal of Applied Sciences (MDPI publication) and currently under major revision.
The final design for the dynamic spinal support also has been completed using Inventor software.
However, due to the unavoidable situation of covid19 and time constraint for me to return back to Malaysia, it was unfortunate that the prototype fabrication could not been proceed.
