Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to analyze the physiological and kinematic characteristics of myoelectric and active prosthetic hands and to clarify the effects and challenges of operation training.
One-hand and two-hand manipulation tasks were performed, and each training was carried out for two weeks. The results indicated that there was no difference between one- and two-handed manipulation training in the ability to open and close the myoelectric prosthetic hand, and that two-handed manipulation training was more effective than one-handed manipulation training in the ability to manipulate objects, especially in accurately manipulating an object grasped with the tip of the myoelectric prosthetic hand. With regard to visual cognitive abilities, the results suggest that the two-handed manipulation task requires greater visual attention to open/close control of the myoelectric hand and manipulation of the object compared to the one-handed manipulation task.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は,片側前腕切断者と先天性上肢欠損児と健常人を対象に実験を行い,筋電義手操作能力および能動義手操作能力に関する基礎的データの集積を行った.これにより筋電義手操作能力の評価と訓練方法の基準が明確となり,上肢切断者および先天性上肢欠損児の身体的かつ精神的負担の軽減に繋がり,リハビリテーション実施期間の短縮が期待できる.また,この研究は,頚髄損傷者や脳血管 障害者の運動や感覚フィードバックを応用することで、効果的リハビリテーション方法に発展できる。
