Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to produce a new rehabilitation plototype device which could facilitate equilibrium reactions and to assess kinetic and kinematic data on sitting position following one session in people with disabilities. The charactertistic of this plototype device is to use sitting position. By using this device, electromyography was increased in peole with disabiliies. This finding sugests that our producted device could improve their equilibrium reaction and posture.
