Effect of motivative exercise based on the imaging of fNIRS and fMRI

Abstract

In recent years, the stroke patients have increased in step with the aging of the population in many countries. Although "Takizawa method" was proposed as the new rehabilitation system for assisting physical therapists (PTs), the assessment is not sufficiently performed. The fNIRS and fMRI are useful for the assessment of rehabilitation effectiveness. Here, we discuss about assessment approach by using fNIRS and fMRI.
