A Study on Teaching Specific Movements Using Tendon Vibration in Humans

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In the case of teaching specific limb movement for people, e.g. rehabilitation or teaching some difficult operations, verbal instructions or direct motion of the learner’s joint are always used but these processes burden the instructors. This paper presents initial experimental results on a new concept for teaching movements that utilizes sensory illusion induced by using small vibration motors. This tendon vibration can be implemented relatively easily and safely compared with electrical stimulation. Wearable vibrators with variable frequency control have been developed. By using the developed vibrators, a feedback control method that compensates for the error between a reference angle and current joint angle has been implemented for the elbow movements. The efficacy of the proposed method has been confirmed by experiments conducted for 11 healthy adult subjects.
