Project Details

Outline of Final Research Achievements

To clarify the effects of hybrid assistive limb (HAL), we evaluated the alteration of the functional outcome following the HAL exercise and also the brain network. The stroke patients received HAL exercise showed a significant improvement of the balance ability. The hemodynamic response in the primary somatosensory cortex significantly increased by the voluntary movement with HAL.
