Toshiyo Tamura,Satomi Yonemitsu,Akiko Itoh,Daisuke Oikawa,Akiko Kawakami,Yuji Higashi,Toshiro Fujimooto,Kazuki Nakajima +7 more
TL;DR: A robot animal, AIBO, was clearly an effective rehabilitation tool in the treatment of severely demented patients, including increased communication between the patients and AIBO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative evaluation of movement using the timed up-and-go test
TL;DR: By using both the accelerometer and gyrosensor signals, it was possible to detect the activity phases, which were similar to those observed by the therapists, and a qualitative difference between the subjects who could walk independently and those requiring supervision was revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A gait abnormality measure based on root mean square of trunk acceleration
Masaki Sekine,Toshiyo Tamura,Masaki Yoshida,Yuki Suda,Yuichi Kimura,Hiroaki Miyoshi,Yoshifumi Kijima,Yuji Higashi,Toshiro Fujimoto +8 more
TL;DR: The RMSR in the ML direction exhibits a common value when healthy subjects walk at their own preferred speed, even if their preferred walking speed were different, and may potentially be a quantitative measure of gait abnormality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractal dynamics of body motion in patients with Parkinson's disease
TL;DR: The data suggest that the fractal measures of the body motion of patients with Parkinson's disease are higher than those of healthy elderly subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
An unconstrained monitoring system for home rehabilitation
TL;DR: An unconstrained monitoring system of heart/respiration rates using wireless telecommunication as an application for home-visit rehabilitation therapists was developed and showed its usefulness for both the therapist and the patient in planning and evaluating daily rehabilitation training.
