膝部ハンガー反射の効果的提示方法の調査と検討

抄録

This paper investigated the difference on the effect of the knee Hanger-Reflex by simultaneously measuring the skin stretch and the pressure distribution. The measured data was analyzed by the weighted average, and two pressure peak positions were obtained. This result shows the same tendency observed at the other body parts. From the skin shear distribution measurement, the direction of the skin deformation is the same as the direction of the knee rotation. These results and measuring shape of the mounting site show that the clue for adjusting the mounting state and angle of the Hanger Reflex device is considering to be each person’s bone shape. In addition, to generate the Hanger-Reflex efficiently, the skin shear deformation near the compression point are important. The results and discussions contribute to the effective skin deformation techniques and devices like the Hanger-Reflex.
