手関節動作に対する触覚提示ミラーシステムの開発

抄録

In this laboratory, we have focused on mirror therapy that has been done for patients with stroke hemiplegia, and have developed and evaluated mirror therapy system using tactile information. This suggested that the tactile information might be effective in improving the paralysis function. Based on this result, we thought that tactile sense might contribute to improving sense of motor participation. In this study, we developed a mirror system that presents tactile sense for abduction and inversion of the wrist joint and evaluated how much the presence or absence of tactile presentation influences the induction of the motor participant feeling. As a result, it is suggested that the tactile information may contribute to improving the sense of motor participation.
