| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the effectiveness of the passive motion exercise device on lower extremity edema using biomedical signals as parameters, we evaluated the effect of body motion or environmental parameter on those biomedical signals. The biomedical signals such as blood flow and skin temperature of the subject with hemiplegia were measured in his daily living situation. The obtained data of body motion and room temperature as well as relation between biomedical signals and clinical data such as foot volume and ankle circumference were analyzed.
