1A2-O10 Optical Topography Based Quantification of Motivation for Gait Training(Nursing and Mechatronics)

Abstract

In generally, the gait training in a monotone is likely to be psychological burden because that we needed the time to take effect of the gait training. In order to be able to tackle an ambitious and effective training, we quantified the motivation of the gait training. Then, in this study, by measuring the hemoglobin concentration of the blood in prefrontal region of someone's brain with the optical topography, we proposed the method to quantify the motivation of the patient during the gait training. In this experimental result, it is found that we showed that the types of short-term goals will be significantly higher about the hemoglobin concentration of the blood in prefrontal region of someone's brain than those of long-term goal.
