Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to examine the brain activity changes by wearing the Wearable Cyborg HAL in healthy subjects. The Wearable Cyborg HAL improves motor function by wearing the suit and performing motor training in patients with cerebral neurological diseases. This is thought to improve muscle and joint action as well as to change the brain activity. However, there have been no reports on the evaluation of brain activity before, during, and after motor training. Therefore, we will examine the brain activity changes in healthy subjects in order to obtain the basic knowledge.

Key inclusion criteria

Healthy subjects between the ages of 18 and 85 years old who have no history of cerebral nerve disease or upper and lower limb movement disorders and have sufficient understanding and consent. In addition, those who physically fit enough to wear the HAL and be able to exercise (walking, squatting, or bending exercise of the elbow) with the HAL are targeted.

Key exclusion criteria

Those who fall under any of the following
1 Those who have uncontrolled cardiovascular disease
2 Those who have uncontrolled respiratory disease
3 Those who have cognitive dysfunction that makes it difficult to understand explanations and instructions
4 Those who have joint disorders such as arthrogryposis
5 Those who have a history of the cranial nerve disorder

Other related information

This study is a prospective time series analysis to investigate the brain activity changes induced by exercise using HAL in healthy subjects. First, the subjects exercise without HAL, then exercise with HAL, and again exercise without HAL. One of the following three types of exercise is performed (walking, squatting, or bending exercise of elbow). Brain activity is measured by electroencephalography before, during, and after exercise. The subjective motor sensation is also measured by VAS.
Subjects are recruited using the bulletin board in the Kyoto University Co-op and the Silver Human Resource Center. Those who meet the selective criteria, and do not meet the exclusion are informed of the study and given written consent. The recruitment period for the research subjects will be until February 28, 2025.
