拘縮の触診をサポートする無線触覚共有システム
概要
This study aims to develop a tactile interface supporting contracture palpation by physical therapists. It comprises a wearable skin vibration sensor that detects frictional vibrations relevant to the contracture during palpation, a tactile headphone that gives vibrotactile feedback based on the sensor output to the therapist, and an evaluation system on a laptop computer. They were wired to each other, which left therapists with limited mobility and posture. Thus, this paper improved the system with wireless modules. A wireless system promotes natural palpation by therapists without any attention to wires. Furthermore, it can easily send the sensor output to additional tactile displays and other computers, which might be useful for assessment by additional therapists and for training in contracture palpation.
