| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have been investigating the effect on movement instruction when a task instruction is given to activate the plantar sensation by attaching a hemispherical protrusion to the sole of the foot and to apply weight to the same area. For example, in the case of walking, when the plantar sensation is input, effects such as an increase in toe height and swing phase clearance, and a change in the pattern of lower limb muscle activity were observed compared to normal walking. This is because the subject changes their movement by paying attention to the plantar sensation caused by the protrusion, and such changes due to active attention suggest the possibility of applying this to new weight-bearing and walking training in rehabilitation.

リハビリテーションの臨床場面において、歩行練習等での動作指導の場合には、対象者に対して口頭指示（言語教示）や視覚指示（ジェスチャー）などが頻用される。しかし、運動イメージの想起に乏しい高齢者等は、療法士の指示を全て理解することに難渋するケースが多い。そこで我々は、足底感覚を用いて直接足底に突起を貼付することで、対象者と療法士の共通理解の感覚的ポイントを教示するアプローチの効果を検証した。動作指導が円滑に進む、また、歩行動作においては足底圧軌跡を修正するポイントに貼付し動きの改善を図ることができる手法としてリハビリテーションにおける新しい動作指導方法としての応用が期待される。
