  • Patent number: 11517788
    Abstract: A training apparatus is capable of generating and presenting a suitable training menu for finger exercise to maintain or improve a cognitive function and/or an exercise function of a human and supporting training of the human. The training apparatus includes a measuring apparatus and a terminal device. Analysis evaluating data based on measurement of the finger exercise including finger tapping is obtained, and the analysis evaluating data contains an evaluation value of an index item related to an exercise function of a user. A training menu for the user is generated based on the analysis evaluating data and contains a training item for the finger exercise. The index item includes at least one of an amount of exercise, endurance, rhythmicity, cooperativeness of both sides, or marker trackability. The training item includes an exercise to carry out the finger tapping in accordance with teaching information, stimulation, or a marker.

  • Publication number: 20220280099
    Abstract: A system for displaying the results of TMT test can acquire time-dependent changes in the position of a contact part on a coordinate plane as time-series coordinate data on the basis of an electric detection signal from a sensor, acquire an elapsed time associated with movement of the contact part as time data from a timer on the basis of the detection signal from the sensor, calculate a test value relating to the movement of the contact part on the basis of the data, and generate and output a characteristic image indicating a time-dependent change in the test value.
