Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been considered that the system is developed to evaluate the recovery condition of the patient given the surgery of the Total Knee Arthroplasty in the walking rehabilitation. It is necessary not only to measure the gait motion, but also to consider the implicitly knowledge of the physical therapist. Therefore, the points that are focused on by the physical therapist in the walking rehabilitation are investigated using the result of the motion capture and the trajectory of the gravity center fluctuation on the sole. From this, it is clear that the motion of the heel and the knee and the time variant of the gravity center fluctuation are important. We measure these motion in the walking rehabilitation and analyze them using Self-Organized Map. As a result, the system to evaluate the recovery condition on the Self-Organized Map is developed.
