Abstract

The physical improvement of the bodies at welfare facilities for the elderly, which introduced the TAKIZAWA method on the rehabilitation training, is reported to be significantly effective. The method was realized from the development of an ankle joint dorsiflexion machine and a knee joint extension and flexion machine (developments) in order to make self training of the affected side leg which has the paralysis possible by using those developments even if the affected side leg couldn't move by the self training.This report clarifies the difference of the exercise effects due to contrasting infrared images in order to verify which part of the leg is activated by the self training.
