| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to realize a home rehabilitation system focusing on motor dysfunction in the lower limbs. First, methods of calculating evaluation indexes of lower limb motor function from inertial sensor signals were developed. Then, an electrical stimulation teaching method to induce active movements for rehabilitation was constructed and its effectiveness was examined in foot drop correction during walking. The stimulation timing of the teaching in pedaling wheelchair rehabilitation was also determined. In addition, in order to assist movements in rehabilitation, methods of assisting foot movements during walking and propulsion of the pedaling wheelchair were developed by using functional electrical stimulation (FES). Finally, a portable system applied to home rehabilitation was developed. Motion measurement and evaluation methods using a few inertial sensors were also proposed for home rehabilitation and shown to be useful in experimental tests.
