Simulation Exercise of Hemiplegic Gait by Utilizing Illusory Kinesthesia of Leg and Educational Use

在一堂物理治疗专业学生和护理专业学生的实习课上，学生们体验了偏瘫病人的模拟，以提高对偏瘫病人情况的了解。在仿真中常用的一种方法是对健全人的四肢施加重量和约束，并指出了这种方法的不足。因此，申请人已经关注了偏瘫患者在行走期间的内省的重要性，并且我们已经设计了一种通过影响下肢的动作和感知之间的相互作用来模拟偏瘫患者的新方法。基于这一思想，我们设计并研制了一种振动腿关节肌腱产生错觉动觉和反射动作的实验装置。最后，我们研究了我们的设备如何影响健全人的步态，我们举办了关于体验我们的设备模拟偏瘫行走的研讨会。

In a class of practical work for physiotherapy students and nursing students, those students experience simulation of hemiplegia patient to improve understanding on situation of such patient. A well-known method on the simulation is to load weight and restraint on extremities of an able-bodied subject, and weaknesses of the method are pointed out. Therefore applicants have focused on significance of introspection of hemiplegia patient during walking, and we have devised a novel method on a simulation of hemiplegia patient by influencing on an interaction between action and perception of lower extremity. Based on this idea, we have designed and developed an experimental device that vibrates tendons of leg joints for generating illusory kinesthesia and reflex action. Finally we investigated how our device influenced a gait of able-bodied person, and we gave workshops on experiencing our device forsimulation of hemiplegic walk.
