上腕への腱振動刺激と他動運動による過伸展錯覚の特性

抄録

To develop an interaction system to create new motor sensation that is not limited to range of joint motion, authors focused attention on illusory kinesthesia created by tendon vibration. Therefore, authors developed an experimental system which created illusory hyperextension kinesthesia of an upper arm by vibrating the biceps brachii muscle, and by moving the upper arm toward extending direction with variable speed and from/to a target position. Experiment results indicated that an initial position of a vibrated arm, number of times to move the arm, and moving velocity of the arm had an influence on enhancing illusory hyperextension kinesthesia.
