指先を対象とした片麻痺患者向けの簡便な家庭用リハビリテーション支援デバイス

―手の自然な姿勢を考慮したハードウエア設計―

抄録

We have been developing a fingertip rehabilitation support device for hemiplegic patients. The device developed to date has not yet considered the hand posture. Depending on the usage of this device, there is a risk that paralysis may occur more sharply than expected if undesirable posture is taken. In this research, we focus on muscle tension and show the design that takes into account the hand posture. We also show the mechanism to lift a finger during rehabilitation which improves the usability of this device. The results of the experiments showed that the proposed design was appropriate.
