Abstract
The number of aged citizens is increasing rapidly in contemporary Japanese society and the number of people who have the trouble in movements of the hands and feet due to sequelae from cerebrovascular accidents (strokes), traffic accidents etc. has been increasing. In the rehabilitation for these people to make them independent and able to return to a full life in society, it is important that they continue training while maintaining the desire to carry out the rehabilitation. The system developed in this research is able to maintain a "desire for training" by having its members encourage each other through the Internet while doing the walking training. The effects on the training desire for cases using the presence of music and images and for the case using the Internet encouragement are reported based the results of a questionnaire, and measurements of heart beat rate, R-R interval, blood pressure, etc.
