FMRI DURING MOTIVATIVE EXERCISE COMPARED WITH PASSIVE ROM IN STROKE PATIENTS

Abstract

We try to certify that "Motivative exercise" is more effective rehabilitation tool than passive ROM exercise to ankle joints by physical therapist in chronic stroke patients. To prove these facts we use functional MRI and get good results in "Motivative exercise". In "Motivative exercise" patients do exercise by very simple tools designed by K. Takizawa RPT. In this study, we use Pata, one of Motivative tools.
