Outline of Final Research Achievements

We develop subjective "somatesthesia measure scale" to promote paralysis side and are aimed for increase of the activity on the paralysis side with post stroke patients.The somatesthesia disorder influences quality of life as well as a delay of the recovery.It was found that Motor Activity Log or WOLF FUNCTION TEST being developed as an evaluation of the somatesthesia, the objective measurement using the accelerometer became possible, but, for the evaluation of the measurement tool, investigated the physical activity in the accelerometer as a previews work for development scale.The numbness and the sensory disturbance of patients with mild ischemic stroke did not influence QOL of physical side,and mental side, however the social side QOL was low.
