| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The rehabilitation for hemiplegic is based on the theory of the plasticity of cerebrum. "Repetitive Facilitation Exercise" (RFE or Kawahira Method), as an effective method of training and healing to exploit the plasticity of cerebrum, can reach the purpose of helping the sufferer to realize moving with the expected movement.
This research aims to develop a training unit that is a wearable walk training device for hemiplegic lower limbs with promotable electrical and vibration stimulation and power assistance based on RFE (Kawahira Method). In other words, the aim is to develop wearable walk training device that has intellectual sensing, control, and driving functions that control motion and force and can be used in training to improve movement of the hemiplegic lower limbs. The device's motion, sensing, mechanisms, control systems and promotable electrical muscle stimulation and vibration muscle stimulation are discussed in this paper and its performance is evaluated experimentally.
