1A2-M06 Somatic Sensation-Biofeedback System for Rehabilitation of Hemiplegia : Comparison of RT-Assisted Motor Learning Performance in Supervised and Reinforcement Learning(Rehabilitation Robotics and Mechatronics(2))

Abstract

We have been proposing new rehabilitation-assisting RT devices for post-stroke patients. They were useful for rehabilitation but there was a problem that not paying enough attention to the biofeedback during training may lead to the unsuccessful training. Thus we examined the effect of attention on RT-assisted rehabilitation by comparing the effect of motor learning on upper limb using the rehabilitation-assisting RT devices in paying and not paying attention conditions. The conclusion is that not paying enough attention to the training and biofeedback from the device will block the rehabilitation and the phenomenon was more obvious for reinforcement learning.
