Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study focused on the advantages of exoskeleton type robotic devices, i.e. precise controllability of kinematics/dynamics and possible accessibility to implicit motor learning process, and tested the feasibility of its application to arm motor rehabilitation to promote upper limb reaching movements. Gradual increment of force applied to one arm was first programmed, and tested its effects on decision making of arm choice and force exerted. The results showed implicit learning can be induced both in healthy and stroke patients with hemiplegia. The pilot study also showed feasibility that functional MRI and Volume based morphometry can detect associated cortical/sub-cortical areas that are used underlying such am implicit motor learning. These study shows the feasibility of implicit learning by exoskeleton robotic intervention in arm motor rehabilitation.
