Abstract
In the field of physiotherapy for children, physical therapists (PT) assist children to recover the motor function or to adapt to the use of artificial limbs controlled by Electromyography. However, children easily give up training which is simple task or with using artificial limbs because it becomes boring. Also, PT are required to perform many operations on the biofeedback system. It is also important for children to feel excited about therapeutic activities and to cooperative play with others and the system should be easily handled by the PT. In this research, we propose a building block like biofeedback toys called "bioToys". This system enables the use of physiological signals in input blocks and generates various outputs. These biofeedback systems are designed to manipulate blocks by simply arranging and rearranging. We show that the developed system is capable to control toys and to record muscle activities in real time.
