Development of telemedical system of mouth opening closing training system for the cases of jaw functioning disturbance.

在2000财年，我们对先进的张嘴训练机器人(WY-5R)的机构和远程控制方法进行了调整，并对机械传动单元、机械传感器单元、遥控系统和远程控制系统进行了改进，具体如下：1)使用先进的张嘴训练机器人(WY-5R)启动临床试验；2)为其实际使用做准备(对张嘴训练机器人进行技术评估，并积累临床试验获得的临床数据)：3)利用远程控制治疗系统进行基础实验和临床试验。我们购买了改进所需的各种部件，2000年3月，我们启动了我们的远程医疗项目，并将控制单元放置在山梨医科大学，将接收单元和治疗装置放置在东京早稻田大学。我们使用两个ISDN线路来操作放置在患者身上的设备。在这次成功的经验之后，我们对设备进行了部分改进，并在2001年3月利用更先进的远程医疗技术成功地治疗了另一名患者。

In fiscal 2000, we adjusted the mechanism and remote control method of advanced mouth opening and closing training robot(WY-5R) and improved mechanic drive unit, mechanic sensor unit, remote control system and the details of the remote control system as follows.1) Initiation of clinical trials using the advanced mouth opening and closing training robot (WY-5R)2) Preparation for its practical use (technical evaluation of the mouth opening and closing robot training and accumlation of clinical data obtained in clinical trials) :3) Implementation of basic experiments and clinical trials using the remote control treatment system.We purchased various parts necessary for improvement, maintenance and management of the mouth opening and closing training robot and completed the experimental model to be used in the present study.In March 2000, we launched our project of telemedicine and placed the control unit in Yamanashi Medical University and the receiving unit and treatment devices in Waseda University in Tokyo. We used two ISDN circuits to operate the devices which were placed on the patient.After this successful experience, we partially improved the devices and in March 2001 succeeded in treating a one another patient by utilizing more advanced telemedicine techniques.
