Objectives

Narrative objectives1

An artificial limb system which patients (who equipped with the system) is able to move voluntarily exactly as the intend will significantly increase their "Quality of Life".
In order to develop such an artificial limb system, feedback of motion sensation from the artificial limb system to the patient is essential.
It has been reported that stimulation of muscle spindles by giving mechanical vibration to the tendon transcutaneously induces illusions of movement (Goodwin et al. 1972; Roll et al. 1982; Collins et al. 1996). We also succeeded in evoking illusory sensation of arm movements by stimulation to muscle spindles. However, evoked illusions are limited to slow ones, and moreover, sometimes failed to evoke such illusory sensation.
It is suspected that activities of cutaneous mechanoreceptors by the vibration have some relation with this phenomena, and therefore, in these experiments, we try to block the effect of cutaneous mechanoreceptors by local anesthesia so that the relationship between the activation of muscle spindles and movement sensation should be evaluated properly.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Velocity of the illusory movement which is evoked by giving vibration to the concerned tendon is to be evaluated. (Changes in the mean value and the standard deviation with respect to condition of tendon vibration are investigated.)
Ratio of the number of cases in which illusion of arm movement is evoked by the tendon vibration to that of the total trials is also to be studied.

Interventions/Control_1

First, tendons are vibrated mechanically by a vibrator under the conditions that cutaneous mechanoreceptors are not blocked.
Then local anesthetic agent (Carbocaine (1%):not more than 2ml) is injected subcutaneously so that cutaneous mechanoreceptors are anesthetized but muscle spindles are not anesthetized, and tendons are again vibrated mechanically under the conditions that cutaneous mechanoreceptors are inhibited.
The experiment is conducted once or twice per each subject, and if a subject joins the experiment twice, an interval from a week to a month is taken between each experiments. Injection of anesthesic agent is restricted to once at a experiment.
