Abstract

A feedforward-movement training apparatus, which is capable of restoring functions of fast and accurate movements in a relaxed state by training feedforward-movements includes a movement working portion where a patient causes a body part to do, within a time limit, a feedforward-movement between a start point and an end point arranged in advance, a movement measuring portion for measuring the feedforward-movement of the patient, and a movement feedback portion for giving the result of the measurement made by the movement measuring portion to the patient. A feedforward-movement evaluation system objectively and easily evaluates the degree of skillfulness of the patient's feedforward-movements in the aforementioned feedforward-movement training apparatus and thus restores functions to execute fast and accurate movement in a relaxed state more effectively.
