Recent years have witnessed an increase in the number of disabled people because of aging, and hence, the importance of rehabilitation has increased. Recently, a new type of rehabilitation, the self-exercise method, has been proposed. To verify its effectiveness, we measure and compare its impact with that of several other rehabilitation methods, by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We established an analysis method for the rehabilitation data obtained using fNIRS to compare the rehabilitation methods. As a result of this study, the self-exercise method was found to be effective in some cases.
