The present invention provides a system for evaluating motor control function in the brain. This system is for evaluating the motor control function in the brain of a subject from the electromyogram (EMG) data of joint prime movers and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration of the joint, wherein both of the data have been obtained by measuring a target-tracking movement performed by the subject with a motion measurement unit that tracks a moving target, the system comprising the following means (a) to (c): (a) means for separating the frequencies of the EMG data and the frequencies of the data on the position, velocity and acceleration into a plurality of frequency components; (b) means for determining the ratio of viscosity coefficient to elastic coefficient (B/K ratio) for each of the frequency components by applying the EMG data and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration to a specific movement equation; and (c) means for evaluating the causal relationship between the motor control function in the brain and the target-tacking movement using the B/K ratio as an index.
A system for evaluating the motor control function in the brain of a subject from the electromyogram (EMG) data of joint prime movers and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration of the joint, wherein both of said data have been obtained by measuring a target-tracking movement performed by the subject with a motion measurement unit that tracks a moving target, said system comprising the following means (a) to (c):
A program for evaluating the motor control function in the brain of a subject from the electromyogram (EMG) data of joint prime movers and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration of the joint, wherein both of said data have been obtained by measuring a target-tracking movement performed by the subject with a motion measurement unit that tracks a moving target, said program being for the purpose of bringing the following means (a) to (c) into practice:
A method of evaluating the motor control function in the brain of a subject from the electromyogram (EMG) data of joint prime movers and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration of the joint, wherein both of said data have been obtained by measuring a target-tracking movement performed by the subject with a motion measurement unit that tracks a moving target, said method comprising the following steps (a) to (c):
A method of processing the electromyogram (EMG) data of joint prime movers and the data on the position, velocity and acceleration of the joint obtained by measuring a target-tracking movement performed by a subject with a motion measurement unit that tracks a moving target, said method comprising the following steps (a) and (b):
