In home rehabilitation support device, appropriate biofeedback is an important issue since there is no support by a medical specialist. In our finger rehabilitation support device, the machine will show the degree of unwanted finger movement in real time. Many similar devices show the degree of finger pressures as a bar graph in a separate display. However, this method requires the patient to gaze at the display while being rehabilitated, which reduces the effectiveness of visual feedback. In this study, we propose a method of presenting involuntary movements by changing colors at the fingertips of the device so that the patient can recognize them while gazing at the hand during rehabilitation.
