Aftereffects of a stroke and the brain tumor include the flexion contracture of the fingers.The contracture of these fingers can trouble the patients.If a physical therapist and an occupational therapist treat every day,it may be improved, but it is difficult.We developed the new device which extended with fingers using artificial muscle passively. The patients put it on by oneself and can train at pleasure at home.The patints trained the fingers and pointed out problems.The complexity was improved when the patients put it on.And the effectiveness of the passive range of motion exercise device using the artificial muscle was confirmed.

About a support system for fingers of flaccid paralysis, we fixed a wrist and made a function to perform a pinch with three fingers (a thumb, a forefinger, a middle finger). We were able to derive some pinch power. We have the brain neoplasm patient that a finger function was lost put it on and practice pinch movement with a sound switch. As study for fingers of spastic paralysis, we devised a system of range of motion improvement purpose. It is a range of motion exercise system of the working on that a patient performs with his voice or the other side fingers movement. As an after care of the BOTOX therapy for spastic paralysis, range of motion improvement exercise is essential. We built the system which a patient can exercise every day at home by himself.

岡山大学で開発した人工筋肉を用いて、頚髄損傷患者や筋委縮性側索硬化症(ALS)患者などの麻痺した手指を動かすシステムを研究・開発しました。まず、代表的日常生活動作遂行における指先に必要な圧力を計測しました。必要とする圧力を計測することで、必要最小限の力を発揮できる人工筋肉を装着した装具・器具を新たに作成し、ピンチ動作や把持動作を行いました。患者に合わせた装具を実際に装着してもらい、改良点を見出し製品化を目指しました。

The artificial muscle which we developed newly is air pressure rubber artificial muscle of a hose-shaped structure body having characteristics to shrink axially at the same time to expand in a radial direction by sending compressed air into inside. At first we made long leg brace (LLB) with the double upright bar which we matched with a subject. We attached artificial muscle three of them to a LLB and devised it to act for knee extension power. We performed movement subjects attached LLB, and to get up from sitting position and investigated a difference of a power to support when we did not work when artificial muscle worked. We used an assistance power measurement sensor and a controller for the measurement of the power to support. Without triggering artificial muscles, as for the power to support that we required, 300N was more than it. In contrast, when we triggered artificial muscles, the power to support required only about 1/10 power when we did not trigger. We confirmed it about the subjects.
For the spinal cord injury patient paralyzed on a lower extremity, we obtained the person himself and a family's consent and made an erect position assistance system and attached it. The subject of lower extremities paralysis was able to stand by operating by oneself. A current standing movement assistance system is the structure which attached an artificial muscle to LLB, but is developing the system which we can wear like clothes in future. About results of research, we reported it in the No. 43 Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine In addition, we are to report it in the No. 44 Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine of June, 2007 and July, 2007 No. 19 Japan locomotoion rehabilitation congress. In addition, we are to contribute it as English thesis as possible earl
