Effect of Selective Training Device in the Mono-Articular Muscle of Lower Limbs.

In rehabilitation, muscle weakness in long-term bed resting is remarkable in the mono-articular muscle, but in the conventional muscular strength training, a strong load is also applied to the bi-articular muscle, and selective strengthening of the mono-articular muscle is often difficult in many cases. Therefore, utilizing the output direction control characteristics of the human body lower limbs, we developed a selective training device in the mono-articular muscle of lower limbs that even one patient can use. After being evaluated at the actual clinical site, it was used as training for hospitalized patients and confirmed the effectiveness as a device.
