Title：Virtuous and vicious cycle between arm use and performance post-stroke
Venue：Open communication space 1（R2 building, 1st floor）
Time & Date：June 13, 16:00～17:00

It is known that depending on the time to start rehabilitation, subsequent recovery will differ qualitatively　 and quontatetively. If the timing to start is late, the arm use on the disabled side are reduced, and furthermore, the disability is not recovered and fall into a vicious cycle. But if it starts as soon as possible, the use frequency of the arm of the disabled will increase and virtuous cycle arise. Dr. Schweighofer explained the outline and the result about the model that predicts these recovery processes using frequency of use of hands with disabilities.
