  Bilateral movement training based on robot-aided rehabilitation systems has been attracting a lot of attention as a post-stroke motor rehabilitation protocol. However, the critical training parameters that underlie the efficiency of bilateral movement have not been clarified. The primary question for planning of bilateral movement training is how the upper extremities interact with each other when function in one of the limbs is less than normal one. The effects of different conditions which were imposed on the unimpaired upper extremity were investigated to find exact therapeutic conditions for planning more appropriate bilateral movement training. Active/passive, loaded/non-loaded, and unimanual/bimanual movements were used as the experimental conditions. Twenty subjects were randomly assigned to one of four groups, namely the passive group (PG), the active non-load group (ANLG), ac.. Read More»
