Evaluation method of degree of functional recovery on walking rehabilitation based on self-organizing map

It is important to evaluate the degree of functional recovery on a walk in rehabilitation. We have proposed two kinds of evaluation methods. One is the Gravity Center Fluctuation (GCF) obtained by the developed special shoes. The other is five element score method using the high speed camera, and is reliable to evaluate the functional recovery. In this paper, we consider the relation between the GCF and the score by the Sell-Organizing Map (SOM). As a consequence, we show the condition of the gait motion is able to be guessed by the SOM.
