| Research Abstract |
In a class of practical work for physiotherapy students and nursing students, those students experience simulation of hemiplegia patient to improve understanding on situation of such patient. A well-known method on the simulation is to load weight and restraint on extremities of an able-bodied subject, and weaknesses of the method are pointed out. Therefore applicants have focused on significance of introspection of hemiplegia patient during walking, and we have devised a novel method on a simulation of hemiplegia patient by influencing on an interaction between action and perception of lower extremity. Based on this idea, we have designed and developed an experimental device that vibrates tendons of leg joints for generating illusory kinesthesia and reflex action. Finally we investigated how our device influenced a gait of able-bodied person, and we gave workshops on experiencing our device for
simulation of hemiplegic walk.
