A home-based rehabilitation system for patients with uncomfortable hands or arms was developed. By using this system, patients can save time and money of going to the hospital. The system's interface is easy to manipulate. In this paper, we discuss a rehabilitation system using video recognition; the focus is on designing a convenient user interface and rehabilitation training methods. The system consists of two screens: one for recording user's information and the other for training. A first-time user inputs his/her information. The system chooses the training method based on the information and records the training process automatically using video recognition. On the training screen, video clips of the training method and help messages are displayed for the user.

We propose a new early rehabilitation training system for postural control using a tilting bed and a force plate. The conventional rehabilitation systems for postural control cannot be applied to the patients lying in bed because the rehabilitation training using those systems is possible only when the patient can stand up by himself or herself. Moreover, there has not existed any device that could provide the sense of balance or the sensation of walking to the patients in bed. By using a tilting bed, a visual display, and a force plate, we have developed a new rehabilitation training system for balance control of the patients in bed providing sense of balance and the sensation of walking to the patient. Through the experiments with real people, we verified the effectiveness of the new early rehabilitation training system. The results showed that this system is an effective system for the early rehabilitation training and that our system might be useful as clinical equipment.

Purpose : The purpose of present study was to determine effects of a visual feedback training on balance ability in poststroke hemiparetic subjects. Methods : Fourteen chronic stroke patients participated. Participants were randomly divided into either visual feedback training group(7 experimental group, 7 control group). All of participated were inpatients at local rehabilitation center and had been receiving a traditional rehabilitation program, five days a week. Exprimental group have additionally undergone for four weeks, three days a week, the visual feedback training but control group was not received any additional program except the traditional rehabilitation program. The Berg Balance Scale(BBS), the FICSIT-4, the MTD-balance system to measure a balance ability were carried out twice before and after training. Results : After participation in the program, subjects of visual feedback training demonstrated a significant improvement in the scores of the BBS, the FICSIT-4, the MTD-Balance system. The control group had no change on the any tests. After the training, the result to improve significantly in visual feedback training group compared to post-test of control group were the score of BBS and the FICSIT-4 and the MTD-Balance system. Conclusions : The present study suggests that the visual feedback training program may become a useful strategy for enhancing balance ability in the rehabilitation of stroke patiens.

Recently computer graphic technology has achieved remarkable development. Applications of this technology to various fields are expected. In this study, one application of computer graphics to the medical field is shown. We developed a rehabilitation system of hand manipulation using virtual reality aiming to offer enjoyable rehabilitation training to physically handicapped people with upper limb disabilities. This rehabilitation system generates training environments for upper limbs, such as moving balls in virtual space of computer. And by using data glove as a sophisticated input device, a user can manipulate objects in virtual space by his hand. By using this rehabilitation system, a user can have rehabilitation training under various conditions without feeling tedious.

We proposed a new system for the postural balance rehabilitation training. For the purpose, we used the virtual hiking system using virtual reality technology. We evaluated the system by measuring the parameters such as path deviation, path deviation velocity, cycling time, and head movement. From our results, we verified the usefulness of virtual reality technology in rehabilitation. Our results showed that this system was effective postural balance rehabilitation training device and might be useful as the clinical equipment.

The cognitive rehabilitation training is important for treating many cognitive impairment conditions, including Parkinson's disease, stroke, and ADHD. In this study, we developed a new evaluation system to improve the measurement of the conventional evaluation systems for cognitive rehabilitation training. The developed system measured the activity of dopamine(DA) and an autonomic nervous system(ANS) with photoplethysmography and electromyography. The results demonstrated that the cognitive capacity was increased but the activity of DA was decreased with unbalanced ANS by short-term stress. Based on the results, the effect of short-term stress should be recognized for the cognitive rehabilitation training.

일반적으로 어지럼증은 여러 가지 복합적인 원인에 의해서 발생하지만 그 중에서 신경계에 속하는 전정계통의 기능 장애에 의한 증상이 가장 환자에게 심한 증상으로 다가오며, 구역질과 구토를 동반하게 된다. 이러한 어지럼증에 대한 치료는 약물요법, 수술요법, 재활치료 등이 있으며, 약물요법이나 수술요법은 대체적으로 후유증의 위험 때문에 재활치료요법인 전정재활훈련을 많이 시행하고 있다. 전정재활훈련은 안구훈련, 자세안정훈련, 보행훈련 등이 있는데 그 중 보행훈련은 의사 또는 전문치료사의 감독하에 일정한 공간에서 진행되므로 시간적, 공간적 부담이 가중되어 환자들이 훈련을 진행기 불편한 단점을 가진다. 이를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 증강현실 기술을 활용해 사용자가 직접 보행재활훈련을 진행 할 수 있는 보행훈련 콘텐츠를 구현하였다. 추후 어지럼증 환자를 대상으로 한 임상시험을 통해 의료 환경에서 사용 가능한 어지럼증 재활 콘텐츠로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

For rehabilitation of stroke patients the repeat training is needed. However it is difficult to keep up the training for the patients because it is boring. Even if the patients continue the training there is no objective way to evaluate the remedial value. Recently there is a new attempt to apply the haptic system to the rehabilitation of the stroke patients. In this study a haptic system is applied to the rehabilitation of the stroke patients. Through the comparative analysis of the experimental data for the normal people and patients, the validity of the proposed rehabilitation was verified. In conclusion, the patient's condition at 8 days after the experiment has demonstrated the level of ADL.

This paper describes a development of rehabilitation training system for the postural balance control. A new rehabilitation training system, designated as a virtual cycling system, was developed to improve postural balance control by combining virtual reality technology with an unfixed bicycle. In this experiment, 20 normal adults were tested to investigate the influencing parameters of postural balance control. In order to evaluate the usefulness and the training effects of the system, several parameters Including path deviation, cycling velocity, cycling time, center of pressure, and head movement were evaluated and analyzed quantitatively. Also, to improve the effect of balance training, the visual feedback information related to the subject´s weight shift was ...
