Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the improvement effect of robot-aided training combined with neuromuscular electricalstimulation (NMES) on the hemipareticupper limbsafter stroke. The patients were divided into two groups (15 patients for each group); Robot (InMotion ARM RobotTM) aided training with NMES group (RNG) and without NMES group (RG). Both groups received 2 weeks of the trainingfor 5 days per week. Anterior deltoid and triceps brachii muscles were electricallystimulated. Increased range of the shoulder flexion (18.0) and abduction (19.0) anglesof RNG weresignificantly larger than those ofRG (flexion: 4.3, abduction: 5.0), respectively (p<0.05).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

脳卒中患者の麻痺側上肢に対するロボット訓練の効果は数多く報告され、麻痺改善効果に有益であるとされている。本研究では、さらなる麻痺改善効果を得るために電気刺激療法との併用効果を検討した。その結果、ロボット訓練に電気刺激を併用した群では、ロボット訓練のみの群と比較して麻痺側上肢の機能改善が得られた。特に肩関節の機能改善が得られやすく、今後の臨床において治療の一助となると考えられる。
