| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed the Tilt Perception Adjustment Device (TPAD) as the new rehabilitation device for patients with balance deficits. TPAD provides head tilt information by the vibration stimulus onto bilateral oral angles. The improved TPAD decreases a size and weight, receives power supply from a chargeable dry battery and uses ear hanging type vibrators. We analyzed Head Tilt Perception Gain (HTPG) before and after use of TPAD in healthy subjects and patients with balance deficits to examine the effects of TPAD. Results showed useful properties of TPAD, which reduces HTPG difference between right and left and dizziness with floating sensation.
