Most elderly people staying in nursing homes have considerable dementia, and various kinds of recreation program have hence been executed in order to improve or prevent this problem. However the effect of recreation has not been proved quantitatively. In this paper, we show the relationship between actions of elderly people with considerable dementia during recreation and abilities of memorization, emotion control, accommodation to society, etc., and decompose their actions into basic action factors. We propose a design method for recreation programs composed of effective factor actions for improving dementia. We analyze the effect of recreation in an experiment of robot therapy recreation based on the proposed method.

Physical activity is recognized as effective for rehabilitation from dementia and more effective if combined with cognitive activity. In this study, two kinds of rehabilitation attempts using a humanoid robot that moved like a human body were made to help the physical activities of elderly people. In one attempt, the robot communicated by gesture and voice with the people and gave questions and hints for them to move as designated. In the other attempt, the robot, as a trainer, instructed multiple elderly persons to perform exercises.

Trial studies of the application of the robotic dog AIBO to rehabilitation are ongoing at several hospitals and geriatric nursing homes. In this study, noninvasive measurement methods such as motion tracking on a video recorder are adopted for evaluating the effectiveness of robot-assisted rehabilitation in terms of mental, social and physical aspects. A comparison between therapy using an autonomous robot and a remote controlled robot showed that the latter was more effective in assisting rehabilitation in the climate of today’s robotic technology. A simple and easy-to-use controller was developed for the therapist to use with the remote controlled robot. For the simplest type of technology, a controller with a hand motion sensing capability was assembled and tested with aged women for an in-house walking program.

A remote controlled robot as well as autonomous one was used for robot assisted activity (RAA) and robot assisted therapy (RAT) in the special nursing home for aged persons and the rehabilitation ward in the hospital. It was shown from the fieldwork at these working sites that RAA and RAT using remote controlled robot are effective especially in a rehabilitation program. The robot operator can control the robot as if the robot understands patient mind and can stimulate the patient through the robot. The effect of RAA and RAT was evaluated several method such as GSR measurement, patient's hand position and eye-contact analysis during practice and blood pressure measurement at before and after the practice. The results show remote control technique helps rehabilitation program although statistical data accumulation is still necessary. One of the problems preventing RAA and RAT from popularization is that we need the robot operator in addition to the therapist. We developed simple and handy operation console that can be handled by therapist during practice.
