Abstract
Hemiplegia patients will more or less lose their accuracy of position sense. Therefore, their paralyzed-side-motion is inferior to that of non-paralyzed-side. We thus aimed at the symmetry motion and proposed a rehabilitation program and a new rehabilitation-assisting RT device that bio-feedback their differential. We performed this practice to two chronic hemiplegia patients once in a week, and as a result, differential in joint angle of symmetry motion decreased significantly after the practice. In addition, we verified that this efficiency sustained at least one week on one patient. And so, these results raise the possibility of curing the patient's paralyzed-side-motion.
