| (in English) | Abstract An “Asobi-litation” system applicable to group recreation for elderly people was developed and assessed. The system aims at facilitating physical and mental activities by games that use body movements as inputs. Thigh raising was measured using an accelerometer and hand grasping was detected by a pressure sensor attached to an air bag. The games familiar to elderly peoples, such as group rope-jumping and tug-of-war, were prepared. The acceptability of the system was confirmed through trials held at three elderly facilities. After improving the system usability by realizing wireless communication between the accelerometers and the computer, an assessment of the system was conducted in a facility for the elderly. Smiling expressions were manually rated to assess mental activation and thigh angles were compared to assess physical activation. The smiling expressions were observed frequently during the presentation of the winner, while serious looks were usually seen during games. The thigh angles did not increase by the game, contrary to our expectation. One reason may be because it is difficult to match the timing with the movement of the rope. Long-term effects should be studied in the future. | |
