1P2-M10 Measurement system of standing motion for standing-up training of patient with hemiplegia after stroke

Abstract

Although a patient with slight hemiplegia after stroke can stand up by using both his/her legs, he/she stands up by using mainly his/her healthy leg rather than his/her paralyzed leg. Therefore, a therapist guides a patient motion to be able to stand up by using both his/her legs well in balance or by putting more weight on the paralyzed leg. The final goal of our research is to develop a rehabilitation support robot of standing up training for patients with hemiplegia after stroke to restore normal standing up motion. For this purpose, we constructed the measurement system of standing up motion by using VICON. And actually, we analyzed the standing up motion to show the effectiveness of the system.
