Abstract

Hemiplegia patients have difficulty in weight shifting to the affected side because of fear of falling down. The purpose of this study was to invent an implicit method that leads weight shifting to the affected side without being noticed by the patient to decline the fear of falling by using vibratory biofeedback providing center of foot pressure displacement. Just noticeable difference of sense of weight was used to increase the amount of weight shifting without being noticed. An experiment was carried out with 12 healthy people to derive just noticeable difference of sense of weight. A clinical study was carried out with 5 hemiplegia patients and the result was that the stance phase of the affected leg while walking increased after training only in the moderate paralytics. The result suggested the implicit method could make hemiplegia patients endure on the affected leg while walking.
