| Abstract: | The first author has developed TANABE therapy for severe hemiplegic stroke patients. In the therapy, he performed repeated facilitation training using his hands on patients to help them recover their motor function and achieved a good treatment outcome. In this paper we developed a training system (UR-System-PARKO) on the basis of TANABE therapy. The clinical test of the therapeutic effect of the UR-System-PARKO was performed in severe plegic hand. As a result, the active ranges of motion of finger extension were improved, and Electromyogram ignition increased after the training. Moreover, the Modified Ashworth Scale scores of finger extension were increased. These results show the effectiveness of the training by the UR-System-PARKO for recovery of motor function for finger extension of the severe plegic hand. |
