 従来、脳卒中等により体肢に麻痺を生じた患者を回復させるために、脳波に基づいて体肢を動作させるリハビリテーションが知られている。このリハビリテーションにおいては、患者が体肢を動作させようとする運動企図の表出を示す脳波の変化、例えば、事象関連脱同期(event-related desynchronization;ERD)に合わせて身体駆動装置が体肢を動作させることにより、リハビリテーションの効果が高まることが知られている(例えば、非特許文献1)。 Conventionally, rehabilitation for moving a limb based on an electroencephalogram is known in order to recover a patient who has been paralyzed by a stroke or the like. In this rehabilitation, the body drive device moves the limb in response to a change in the electroencephalogram that indicates the expression of an attempt to move the limb by the patient, for example, event-related desynchronization (ERD). It is known that the effect of rehabilitation is enhanced by operating (for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
 特許文献1のリハビリテーションシステムは、脳波測定装置、患者の体肢を動作させる身体駆動装置、および、制御装置を備えている。制御装置は、運動企図の表出を示すERDを脳波測定装置によって検出し、検出されたERDに基づいて身体駆動装置を駆動させる。 The rehabilitation system of Patent Document 1 includes an electroencephalogram measurement device, a body drive device that moves the limbs of a patient, and a control device. The control device detects an ERD indicating the expression of the exercise plan by the electroencephalogram measurement device, and drives the body drive device based on the detected ERD.

 本発明の一側面によれば、患者の脳の可塑性の程度に応じたリハビリテーションを患者に提供するリハビリテーションシステムが提供できる。
 リハビリテーションの訓練による回復速度の差異は、患者の脳の可塑性や障害の程度によって生じることがある。リハビリテーションにおいて回復の速度については、脳の可塑性が最も残っている障害発生直後において回復が速く、時間の経過とともに回復の速度が低下することがある。本発明のいくつかの側面では、リハビリテーションの訓練を開始する前の脳波に基づいて、脳の可塑性の程度を推定し、その可塑性に応じて、訓練のスケジュールを調整する。患者にマッチしたリハビリテーションを患者に提供でき、リハビリテーションの効果の向上が期待できる。

 複数の電極11は、患者が脳波測定装置10を頭部に装着したときに、患者の運動企図に関連する脳波の測定に適した位置に配置されるように、例えばアーチ形の弾性ヘッドマウントによって支持される。複数の電極11は、例えば、患者の右半身の随意運動を支配する左運動野、および、患者の左半身の随意運動を右運動野に対応できる位置(脳波電極の指定方法である、国際10-20法におけるC4、C3の位置)に配置することが好ましい。電極11の配置を左運動野および右運動野のそれぞれと対応させることにより、同一のリハビリテーションシステム1を左半身の麻痺を有する患者および右半身の麻痺を有する患者の両方に用いることができる。なお、軽量化、簡易装着等の観点から、脳波測定装置10は、片側の運動野のみに対応する電極11を備えるいわゆるヘッドセット形状を有してもよい。
The electroencephalogram measurement apparatus 10 can have a headphone shape suitable for mounting on a patient's head, and includes a plurality of electrodes 11, an electroencephalogram measurement unit 12, and an electroencephalogram transmission unit 13.
The plurality of electrodes 11 are arranged, for example, by an arch-shaped elastic head mount so that when the patient wears the electroencephalogram measuring apparatus 10 on the head, the electrodes 11 are arranged at positions suitable for the measurement of the electroencephalogram related to the patient's motion plan. Supported. The plurality of electrodes 11 are, for example, a left motor area that controls the voluntary movement of the patient's right body, and a position that can correspond to the voluntary movement of the patient's left body to the right motor area (an electroencephalogram electrode designation method, international 10 It is preferable to arrange them at positions C4 and C3) in the -20 method. By making the arrangement of the electrodes 11 correspond to each of the left motor area and the right motor area, the same rehabilitation system 1 can be used for both a patient having left-side paralysis and a patient having right-side paralysis. Note that, from the viewpoint of weight reduction, simple wearing, and the like, the electroencephalogram measurement apparatus 10 may have a so-called headset shape including the electrodes 11 corresponding to only one motor area.
 脳波計測部12は、電極11のうちの2つの電極間の電位差を増幅して脳波を計測する。脳波送信部13は、脳波計測部12にて計測された脳波を含む脳波信号を制御装置50の脳波受信部51に送信する。 The electroencephalogram measurement unit 12 measures the electroencephalogram by amplifying the potential difference between two of the electrodes 11. The electroencephalogram transmission unit 13 transmits an electroencephalogram signal including the electroencephalogram measured by the electroencephalogram measurement unit 12 to the electroencephalogram reception unit 51 of the control device 50.
 情報提示装置20は、単に提示装置と呼ぶことがある。提示装置20は、音響的出力装置としてのスピーカー21および視覚的出力装置としての画像表示部22を備えている。スピーカー21は、制御装置50からの音響信号に基づいて、患者に音および音声を提示する。画像表示部22は、制御装置50からの制御信号に基づいて、患者に視覚情報を提示する。患者に提示される情報は、患者がどのようなリハビリテーション運動を企図すれば良いかの指示に関する指示情報と、患者が指示通りに企図できているかのフィードバック情報とを含む。 The information presentation device 20 may be simply referred to as a presentation device. The presentation device 20 includes a speaker 21 as an acoustic output device and an image display unit 22 as a visual output device. The speaker 21 presents sound and voice to the patient based on the acoustic signal from the control device 50. The image display unit 22 presents visual information to the patient based on a control signal from the control device 50. The information presented to the patient includes instruction information regarding an instruction as to what rehabilitation exercise the patient should attempt, and feedback information indicating whether the patient is attempting according to the instruction.
 電動装具30は、患者の指および腕に装着される装具31、モータ32、および、筋刺激電極33を備えている。モータ32は、装具31の肘付近に取り付けられている。モータ32の出力軸と装具31の指の背の部分とは、図示しないワイヤーにより接続されている。モータ32が回転することにより、装具31を装着した患者の指がワイヤーにより引っ張られ、指に力学的な刺激が与えられ、患者の指が他動的に運動させられる。 The electric appliance 30 includes an appliance 31 to be attached to a patient's finger and arm, a motor 32, and a muscle stimulation electrode 33. The motor 32 is attached near the elbow of the appliance 31. The output shaft of the motor 32 and the back portion of the finger of the appliance 31 are connected by a wire (not shown). As the motor 32 rotates, the finger of the patient wearing the brace 31 is pulled by the wire, a mechanical stimulus is applied to the finger, and the patient's finger is moved in a passive manner.
 筋刺激電極33は、患者の前腕部に筋刺激を与えるように構成される。筋刺激電極33は、ERD検出のタイミングに基づいて制御される制御装置50の筋刺激制御部59(図2参照)による電極33間の電流制御によって患者の前腕部に電気的な刺激を与える。この電気的な刺激が患者の前腕部の筋刺激となる。筋刺激およびモータ32の制御にともなう他動的な運動は、患者への体性感覚フィードバックとなる。 The muscle stimulation electrode 33 is configured to give muscle stimulation to the patient's forearm. The muscle stimulation electrode 33 gives electrical stimulation to the patient's forearm by current control between the electrodes 33 by the muscle stimulation control unit 59 (see FIG. 2) of the control device 50 controlled based on the timing of ERD detection. This electrical stimulation becomes muscle stimulation of the patient's forearm. The passive movement accompanying the muscle stimulation and the control of the motor 32 becomes somatosensory feedback to the patient.
 操作部40は、例えば、マウスやタッチパネル等として構成される。リハビリテーションの補助者、例えば作業療法士は、操作部40を介して患者に関する各種情報を制御装置50に登録したり、制御装置50に対する訓練の開始や停止の指示を入力したりする。操作部40がタッチパネルとして構成される場合には、提示装置20に一体化することもできる。 The operation unit 40 is configured as, for example, a mouse or a touch panel. A rehabilitation assistant, for example, an occupational therapist, registers various information about the patient in the control device 50 via the operation unit 40 or inputs an instruction to start or stop training for the control device 50. When the operation unit 40 is configured as a touch panel, it can be integrated with the presentation device 20.
 図2を参照して、制御装置50について説明する。制御装置50は、脳波受信部51、ERD検出部52、訓練制御部53、スケジュール決定部54、周波数解析部55、フィードバック制御部56、提示制御部57、モータ制御部58、および、筋刺激制御部59を備えている。制御装置50は、電子回路を含むいわゆるマイクロコンピューターであり得る。制御装置50は、各種制御プログラムが格納されたROM(Read Only Memory)及びROMにアクセス可能なCPU(Central Processing Unit)を含むことができる。 The control apparatus 50 will be described with reference to FIG. The control device 50 includes an electroencephalogram reception unit 51, an ERD detection unit 52, a training control unit 53, a schedule determination unit 54, a frequency analysis unit 55, a feedback control unit 56, a presentation control unit 57, a motor control unit 58, and muscle stimulation control. A portion 59 is provided. The control device 50 can be a so-called microcomputer including an electronic circuit. The control device 50 can include a ROM (Read Only Memory) in which various control programs are stored and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that can access the ROM.
 制御装置50は、操作部40からの操作と、提示装置20、電動装具30への制御とによって、安静状態と運動企図の表出とを交互に所定の時間間隔で行う訓練を患者に実行させる。 The control device 50 causes the patient to perform a training in which a resting state and an expression of an exercise plan are alternately performed at predetermined time intervals by an operation from the operation unit 40 and a control to the presentation device 20 and the electric appliance 30. .
 リハビリテーションの訓練は、操作部40からの開始指示によって開始される。作業療法士の操作により操作部40から開始指示が訓練制御部53に入力され、一連の訓練のプロセスが実行される。 リ Rehabilitation training is started by a start instruction from the operation unit 40. A start instruction is input from the operation unit 40 to the training control unit 53 by the operation of the occupational therapist, and a series of training processes is executed.
 図3に示すように、リハビリテーションの1回の訓練(以下、「訓練シーケンス」)は安静期間と運動企図の表出を行う企図期間とを含んで構成される。安静期間では、患者はリラックスして特定の思考を想起しないことが求められる。一方、企図期間では、患者は運動企図を表出することが求められる。企図期間は、運動企図期間と呼ぶことがある。安静期間および企図期間の長さは、例えば、各5秒間に設定される。 As shown in FIG. 3, one rehabilitation exercise (hereinafter referred to as “training sequence”) includes a rest period and an intention period during which an exercise intention is expressed. During the rest period, the patient is required to relax and not recall specific thoughts. On the other hand, during the planning period, the patient is required to express an exercise plan. The planning period may be referred to as an exercise planning period. The length of the rest period and the planning period is set, for example, to 5 seconds each.
 そして、安静期間と運動企図期間を交互に行うことで訓練が進行する。1日あたり、例えば40分程度の訓練時間が設定され、その中で制御装置50は、上記訓練シーケンスを複数回繰り返す。換言すれば、1日あたり所定の訓練時間が終了するまで訓練シーケンスが実行される。患者1名に対しては、この訓練を例えば10日間にわたって実行することでリハビリテーションの訓練とする。 And training progresses by alternately performing rest periods and exercise planning periods. For example, a training time of about 40 minutes is set per day, and the control device 50 repeats the training sequence a plurality of times. In other words, the training sequence is executed until the predetermined training time per day ends. For one patient, this training is performed for 10 days, for example, as a rehabilitation training.
 図2に示される訓練制御部53は、安静期間と運動企図期間との切り替えタイミングを提示制御部57に伝達する。提示制御部57は、患者に対して画像表示部22およびスピーカー21を介してそのタイミングを提示する。 The training control unit 53 shown in FIG. 2 transmits the switching timing between the rest period and the exercise planning period to the presentation control unit 57. The presentation control unit 57 presents the timing to the patient via the image display unit 22 and the speaker 21.
 図4に、画像表示部22に表示される情報の例を示す。画像表示部22には、安静期間を示す安静期間枠23と、企図期間を示す企図期間枠24とが同じ時間軸上に並べられて表示される。時間の経過は、時間とともに左から右に移動する縦線25によって表示される。また、患者に対する要請内容はメッセージボックス26にも表示される。メッセージボックス26は、安静期間には「リラックスしてください」等のメッセージを表示する。また、図5に示すように、メッセージボックス26は、企図期間には「運動を企図してください」等のメッセージを表示する。 FIG. 4 shows an example of information displayed on the image display unit 22. On the image display unit 22, a rest period frame 23 indicating a rest period and an intention period frame 24 indicating an intention period are displayed side by side on the same time axis. The passage of time is displayed by vertical lines 25 that move from left to right with time. The request contents for the patient are also displayed in the message box 26. The message box 26 displays a message such as “Please relax” during the rest period. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the message box 26 displays a message such as “Please plan your exercise” during the planning period.
 また、図1に示す提示装置20内のスピーカー21は、安静期間の開始タイミングと、企図期間の開始タイミングとでは、異なる報知音を提示するようにしてもよい。この場合、患者は、安静期間と企図期間との切り替わりを聴覚的に認識できる。 Further, the speaker 21 in the presentation device 20 shown in FIG. 1 may present different notification sounds at the start timing of the rest period and the start timing of the planning period. In this case, the patient can audibly recognize the switching between the rest period and the planning period.
 次に、図2を参照して、訓練中の運動企図の分析のための脳波解析と患者への解析結果のフィードバックについて説明する。
 脳波受信部51は、脳波送信部13からの脳波を受信する。また、同時に訓練制御部53からの脳波訓練タイミングを受信する。脳波測定装置10は、訓練期間中には常に脳波を計測して脳波信号を送信している。脳波受信部51は、訓練タイミングに基づいて、脳波信号から安静期間の脳波と、企図期間の脳波とを抽出することができる。
Next, an electroencephalogram analysis for analyzing an exercise plan during training and feedback of the analysis result to a patient will be described with reference to FIG.
The electroencephalogram reception unit 51 receives an electroencephalogram from the electroencephalogram transmission unit 13. At the same time, the brain wave training timing from the training control unit 53 is received. The electroencephalogram measurement apparatus 10 always measures an electroencephalogram and transmits an electroencephalogram signal during the training period. The electroencephalogram reception unit 51 can extract the electroencephalogram during the rest period and the electroencephalogram during the planning period from the electroencephalogram signal.
 ERD検出部52は、安静期間の脳波と企図期間の脳波とから、運動企図に関連した信号であるERD信号を検出する。ERDは、運動企図の表出により変化する脳波であり、運動企図を表出しているときに特有に発生するとされる。患者が運動企図を正しく表出できている場合には、安静期間には、ERD信号は検出されず、企図期間にのみERD信号が検出されることになる。 The ERD detection unit 52 detects an ERD signal that is a signal related to the exercise plan from the brain wave during the rest period and the brain wave during the planning period. The ERD is an electroencephalogram that changes due to the expression of the exercise intention, and is uniquely generated when the exercise intention is expressed. If the patient can correctly express the exercise intention, the ERD signal is not detected during the rest period, and the ERD signal is detected only during the intention period.
 ERD信号は、脳波の周波数パワーの時間変化によって求められる。所定の時間範囲において、特定の周波数、例えば10Hz付近の周波数パワーの変化が、所定の時間継続して見られた場合には、ERD信号が検出されたと判定される。 The ERD signal is obtained by the time change of the frequency power of the electroencephalogram. In a predetermined time range, if a change in frequency power at a specific frequency, for example, around 10 Hz, is continuously observed for a predetermined time, it is determined that an ERD signal has been detected.
 ERD信号が検出されたと判定された場合には、フィードバック制御部56によって患者に対するフィードバック情報が作成される。フィードバック情報は提示制御部57を経由して、画像表示部22の画面上に表示されたり(例えば図5の帯27)、スピーカー21から音響的に出力されたりする。 When it is determined that the ERD signal is detected, feedback information for the patient is created by the feedback control unit 56. The feedback information is displayed on the screen of the image display unit 22 via the presentation control unit 57 (for example, the band 27 in FIG. 5) or is acoustically output from the speaker 21.
 次に、図1、図4、および、図5を用いて訓練中の動作についてさらに説明する。
 図1に示されるように、1訓練シーケンスは、患者が電動装具30の装着された指にペグPをつまんだ状態において開始される。このため、ERD信号が検出されたとき、電動装具30のモータ32の制御により、指が伸展し、ペグPが落ちる。このとき、指の伸展に関わる神経機能に筋肉からフィードバックが付与され、神経機能の回復が促される。また、電動装具30の駆動とともに、筋刺激電極33により、指の伸展に関わる筋肉、例えば、総指伸筋に電気刺激が付与される。このため、指の伸展に関わる神経機能に筋肉からのフィードバックが付与され、神経機能の回復が促される。
Next, the operation during training will be further described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 4, and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, one training sequence is started in a state where the patient pinches the peg P on the finger on which the electric brace 30 is worn. For this reason, when the ERD signal is detected, the finger is extended by the control of the motor 32 of the electric appliance 30 and the peg P falls. At this time, feedback from the muscle is given to the nerve function related to finger extension, and recovery of the nerve function is promoted. Further, as the electric appliance 30 is driven, the muscle stimulation electrode 33 applies electrical stimulation to muscles related to finger extension, for example, the total finger extensor muscles. For this reason, feedback from the muscle is given to the nerve function related to finger extension, and the recovery of the nerve function is promoted.
 制御装置50は、操作部40の操作により訓練制御を開始する。訓練制御部53は、安静期間と企図期間の訓練シーケンスを繰り返し提示できるように、提示制御部57に指示を送る。提示制御部57は、図4に示されるように訓練の実行中である旨をグラフ等により画像表示部22に表示させる。安静期間の開始時と、企図期間の開始時には提示制御部57に提示情報を作成させ、スピーカー21に報知音を提示させる。患者は、スピーカー21からの報知音、および、画像表示部22の表示内容の少なくとも一方から企図期間に移行した旨を認識し、運動企図の表出を行う。安静期間および企図期間においては、図5に示されるように、ERDの減衰率の計算結果28がグラフによって連続的に表示され、そのERDの減衰率が一定以上の場合に、ERDが検出されたと判定し、その時間区間は例えば帯27のような視覚フィードバック情報として画像表示部22に追加的に表示される。また、聴覚フィードバック情報として、スピーカー21からERDが検出された旨が報知される。また、モータ制御部58および筋刺激制御部59によって電動装具30から体性感覚フィードバックが行われる。画像表示部22からの視覚フィードバック情報及びスピーカー21からの聴覚フィードバック情報は、電動装具30を介さないフィードバックすなわち非体性感覚フィードバックと呼ぶことがある。 The control device 50 starts training control by operating the operation unit 40. The training control unit 53 sends an instruction to the presentation control unit 57 so that the training sequence of the rest period and the planning period can be repeatedly presented. As shown in FIG. 4, the presentation control unit 57 displays on the image display unit 22 by a graph or the like that training is being performed. At the start of the rest period and at the start of the planning period, the presentation control unit 57 creates presentation information and causes the speaker 21 to present a notification sound. The patient recognizes that it has shifted to the planning period from at least one of the notification sound from the speaker 21 and the display content of the image display unit 22, and expresses the exercise plan. In the rest period and the planning period, as shown in FIG. 5, the calculation result 28 of the ERD attenuation rate is continuously displayed by the graph, and the ERD is detected when the ERD attenuation rate is not less than a certain value. The time interval is additionally displayed on the image display unit 22 as visual feedback information such as the band 27, for example. Further, the auditory feedback information that the ERD has been detected is notified. Further, somatic sensory feedback is performed from the electric appliance 30 by the motor control unit 58 and the muscle stimulation control unit 59. The visual feedback information from the image display unit 22 and the auditory feedback information from the speaker 21 may be referred to as feedback not via the electric appliance 30, that is, non-somatosensory feedback.
 これらの処理によって、患者が運動企図を表出した場合に、制御装置50を介して擬似的に体性感覚のフィードバックを与えることができ、擬似的に思ったとおりに体が動いたという体験が可能になる。これを繰り返すことでリハビリテーションが進められる。 Through these processes, when the patient expresses an exercise plan, pseudo-somatic feedback can be given via the control device 50, and the experience of moving the body as expected can be experienced. It becomes possible. Rehabilitation is advanced by repeating this.
 以上のように、リハビリテーションシステムによって訓練が実施される。
 次に、本願発明者が着眼した患者の特性について説明する。患者の障害の回復度合いに関して、以下の文献に着目した。
As described above, training is performed by the rehabilitation system.
Next, characteristics of the patient focused on by the inventor will be described. With regard to the degree of recovery of the patient's disability, we focused on the following literature.
 「Westlake et.al, “Resting state alpha-band functional connectivity and recovery after stroke”, Experimental Neurology 237 (2012) p160-169」
 上記文献によれば、患者の脳磁図、特にα帯(8~13ヘルツ)の活動強度と虚血性発作の患者の回復具合が関連しているという知見が記載されている。このα帯の活動強度が強い場合には、脳の可塑性が高まっていると考えられること、また、α帯の活動強度は脳波でも推定可能なことから、発明者らはリハビリテーションシステムにもこの知見が導入可能であると考えた。
“Westlake et.al,“ Resting state alpha-band functional connectivity and recovery after stroke ”, Experimental Neurology 237 (2012) p160-169”
According to the above-mentioned document, the knowledge that the patient's magnetoencephalogram, particularly the activity intensity of α band (8-13 Hz) is related to the recovery status of patients with ischemic stroke is described. When this α-band activity intensity is strong, it is considered that the plasticity of the brain is increased, and since the activity intensity of the α-band can also be estimated by an electroencephalogram, the inventors have also found this knowledge in the rehabilitation system. Thought that it could be introduced.
 具体的には発明者らはこの知見から、α帯の活動強度に応じてリハビリテーションのスケジュールを調整することで、リハビリテーションの効果の向上に貢献できることに着想した。 Specifically, based on this knowledge, the inventors have come up with the idea that adjusting the rehabilitation schedule according to the activity intensity of the α band can contribute to the improvement of the rehabilitation effect.
 スケジュール決定部54は、α帯の活動強度に基づいてリハビリテーションのスケジュールを作成し、訓練制御部53内のメモリ(図示略)に記憶させる。スケジュールは、複数日間にわたるものである。スケジュールは、各日において訓練シーケンスを繰り返す時間や回数を定めている。訓練制御部53は、スケジュール決定部54により作成されたスケジュールに基づいて訓練制御を実行する。 The schedule determination unit 54 creates a rehabilitation schedule based on the activity intensity of the α band and stores it in a memory (not shown) in the training control unit 53. The schedule spans multiple days. The schedule defines the time and number of times to repeat the training sequence on each day. The training control unit 53 executes training control based on the schedule created by the schedule determination unit 54.
 訓練制御部53は、各日のリハビリテーションの開始前にメモリからスケジュールを読み込む。訓練制御部53は、スケジュールにより定められた時間が経過するまで訓練シーケンスを繰り返す。訓練制御部53は、スケジュールにより定められた時間が経過したとき、訓練制御を終了し、その日のリハビリテーションを終了させる。 The training control unit 53 reads the schedule from the memory before starting the rehabilitation for each day. The training control unit 53 repeats the training sequence until the time determined by the schedule elapses. When the time determined by the schedule has elapsed, the training control unit 53 ends the training control and ends the rehabilitation for that day.
 図6を参照して、訓練のスケジュール決定処理について説明する。スケジュール決定処理は、各日のリハビリテーションの開始前に実施される。スケジュール決定処理は、患者に脳波測定装置10を装着させ、かつ、患者が椅子に座る等して安静した状態において行われる。 The training schedule determination process will be described with reference to FIG. The schedule determination process is performed before the start of each day's rehabilitation. The schedule determination process is performed in a state where the patient is rested by wearing the electroencephalogram measurement apparatus 10 and sitting on a chair.
 制御装置50は、ステップS11において、操作部40からの信号により、患者のID登録があるか否かを判定する。例えば、作業療法士により患者IDの登録がない、すなわち、リハビリテーションの初日である旨の操作が行われたとき、患者のID登録がない旨を判定する。また、作業療法士により患者IDの登録がある、すなわち、リハビリテーションの2日目以降である旨の操作が行われたとき、患者のID登録がある旨を判定する。 In step S11, the control device 50 determines whether there is a patient ID registration based on a signal from the operation unit 40. For example, when there is no registration of patient ID by an occupational therapist, that is, when an operation to the first day of rehabilitation is performed, it is determined that there is no registration of patient ID. Further, when the occupational therapist has registered the patient ID, that is, when an operation indicating that it is after the second day of the rehabilitation is performed, it is determined that the patient ID is registered.
 制御装置50は、ステップS11において、患者IDの登録がない旨判定したとき、ステップS12において訓練制御部53は患者IDを作成する。次に、周波数解析部55は、ステップS13において脳波測定装置10からの信号に基づいて脳波受信部51が受信した脳波から、α帯の活動強度を演算する。そして、スケジュール決定部54は、ステップS14において、α帯の活動強度に基づいてリハビリテーションのスケジュールを作成し、訓練制御部53がこのスケジュールをリハビリテーションのスケジュールとして決定する。 When the control device 50 determines in step S11 that the patient ID is not registered, the training control unit 53 creates a patient ID in step S12. Next, the frequency analysis unit 55 calculates the activity intensity of the α band from the electroencephalogram received by the electroencephalogram reception unit 51 based on the signal from the electroencephalogram measurement apparatus 10 in step S13. In step S14, the schedule determination unit 54 creates a rehabilitation schedule based on the activity intensity of the α band, and the training control unit 53 determines this schedule as the rehabilitation schedule.
 具体的には、スケジュール決定部54は、予め記憶されている基準のスケジュールを読み込み、α帯の活動強度が閾値よりも低いとき、1日のリハビリテーションの時間、および、リハビリテーションを行う日数の少なくとも一方が基準のスケジュールよりも長くなるようにスケジュールを作成する。また、訓練制御部53、スケジュール決定部54が決定したスケジュールを患者IDと関連付けて内部のメモリに記憶する。なお、基準のスケジュールは、例えば、各日40分、全体で10日間であり得る。 Specifically, the schedule determination unit 54 reads a pre-stored reference schedule, and when the activity intensity of the α band is lower than the threshold, at least one of the rehabilitation time of the day and the number of days of rehabilitation Create a schedule so that is longer than the reference schedule. Further, the schedule determined by the training control unit 53 and the schedule determination unit 54 is stored in the internal memory in association with the patient ID. Note that the reference schedule may be, for example, 40 minutes each day for a total of 10 days.
 スケジュールを長くする調整方法としては、例えば、(1)各日の40分の訓練時間を例えば50分、60分等に長くして、1日あたりのシーケンス繰り返し数を増やす、(2)1回の訓練時間40分は変更せず、1日あたりの訓練回数を午前と午後の2回にするなどして、1日当りの訓練回数を増やす、(3)訓練日数を長くする、などが含まれる。 As an adjustment method to lengthen the schedule, for example, (1) increase the number of sequence repetitions per day by increasing the training time of 40 minutes for each day to, for example, 50 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. (2) 1 time The training time of 40 minutes is not changed, and the number of trainings per day is increased to twice in the morning and afternoon, etc., and the number of trainings per day is increased. (3) The number of training days is increased. .
 他方、制御装置50は、ステップS11において、患者IDの登録がある旨判定したとき、すなわち、リハビリテーションの2日目以降である旨判定したとき、ステップS15に進む。そして、訓練制御部53は、ステップS15において患者IDから患者IDと関連付けて記憶されているスケジュールをメモリから読み込み、訓練制御部53がこのスケジュールにしたがって訓練のための提示装置20に対する制御を行う。 On the other hand, when it is determined in step S11 that the patient ID has been registered, that is, when it is determined that the patient ID is after the second day of rehabilitation, the control device 50 proceeds to step S15. And the training control part 53 reads the schedule memorize | stored in association with patient ID from patient ID in step S15 from memory, and the training control part 53 performs control with respect to the presentation apparatus 20 for training according to this schedule.
 リハビリテーションシステム1は、以下の作用および効果を奏する。
 (1)実施形態のリハビリテーションシステム1と図7に示す参考例のリハビリテーションシステムとの違いについて説明する。図7に示す参考例のリハビリテーションシステムは、周波数解析部55およびスケジュール決定部54を備えていない点において実施形態のリハビリテーションシステム1とは相違している。図7に示す参考例のリハビリテーションシステムの訓練制御部53は、患者の障害の程度や可塑性の状態に関わらず、予め設定された訓練回数分の訓練を実施するのみである。このため、患者に適した訓練量の設定はされていない。
The rehabilitation system 1 has the following operations and effects.
(1) The difference between the rehabilitation system 1 of embodiment and the rehabilitation system of the reference example shown in FIG. 7 is demonstrated. The rehabilitation system of the reference example shown in FIG. 7 is different from the rehabilitation system 1 of the embodiment in that the frequency analysis unit 55 and the schedule determination unit 54 are not provided. The training control unit 53 of the rehabilitation system of the reference example shown in FIG. 7 only performs training for a preset number of times of training regardless of the degree of disorder and plasticity of the patient. For this reason, the training amount suitable for a patient is not set.
 実施形態のリハビリテーションシステム1の制御装置50は、周波数解析部55およびスケジュール決定部54を備えている。この制御装置50は、患者の脳波を測定し、測定した脳波に基づいてリハビリテーションのスケジュールを作成する。すなわち、リハビリテーションの開始前において患者の予後が良好になるスケジュールを作成することができる。このため、患者に応じたリハビリテーションを行うことができる。患者の可塑性の程度に応じて訓練スケジュールを決定できるため、より効果的な訓練が可能なリハビリテーションシステム1が提供できる。 The control device 50 of the rehabilitation system 1 according to the embodiment includes a frequency analysis unit 55 and a schedule determination unit 54. The control device 50 measures a patient's brain wave and creates a rehabilitation schedule based on the measured brain wave.
