Outline of Final Research Achievements

A device was developed for the purpose of inducing crawling limb movements by inducing visual illusions (optical flow) by showing images that flow through the scenery, targeting infants who have not acquired crawling movements. The subjects were one healthy infant and one child with cerebral palsy, and the amount of movement of the limbs during and without the video was evaluated. As a result, no increase in limb movements was seen in normal children, but some limbs in cerebral palsy children showed increased movements. We would like to repeat the verification and connect it to the rehabilitation technique that induces crawling motion in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

optical flowによる視覚的変化は乳児にも視覚的な錯覚を起こさせ,身体活動に波及することが報告されている.今回,匍匐運動を誘発させる目的でoptical flowを誘発する機器を作成し,実際に運動が誘発されるかどうかを評価した。
その結果、健常児では刺激なしと刺激ありの環境により、刺激ありの環境で手足の動きが低下したが、脳性麻痺児では、運動麻痺のある手足が刺激のない環境よりOptical flowを刺激として入力した環境の方において活動量が向上したことを確認した。麻痺のある手足が視覚的変化により運動が誘発されたのは興味深く、匍匐動作誘発のリハビリテーションへの活用が示唆された。
