Exercise system for eccentric tibialis anterior contraction to improve ambulatory function.
This study has developed a device and system for the exercise of eccentric contraction of the tibialis anterior, with the objective of maintaining ambulatory function. A system was built that allows for exercises of appropriate load and speed, by providing the trainee with force data in the form of visual feedback. An experimental verification with two healthy participants shows small variation in the Myoelectric data during the repetitive exercise. The result suggest the possibility of higher reproducibility of the proposed exercise in comparison with manual exercise. As a clinical test, elderly ambulatory participants who frequented a day care facility performed exercises for one month (twice weekly) using the proposed device and exercise system. To verify the exercise results, a TUG test was performed, which is an assessment index for functional mobilization capacity. Shorter TUG in the majority of the participants suggests a possible beneficial effect in ambulatory function.
