Participants received (cid:9877) minutes of RAA using a communication robot, and their neurophysiological indices were assessed. Emotions and mood states were measured following RAA. Moreover, restingstate EEG activity as indicated by alpha power, beta power, and the relative power index (alpha/beta) was assessed on Fz and Pz before and after RAA. Our results demonstrate that participants felt more positive emotions and mood states, such as “warm” and “fun,” after RAA. However, the resting state brain activity of the participants did not change after RAA. This study suggests that RAA with a communication robot modulates psychological factors in elderly women.

We enrolled 65 patients (39 men and 26 women) diagnosed as having pitting edema who showed stable symptoms and 35 controls (11 men and 24 women) who were community-dwelling healthy elderly adults. We instructed the subjects to sit on the edge of a chair and lightly press the soles of their foot onto the floor. We measured the left and right depths of the surface imprint in the back of the third metatarsal head using an edema gauge. In the statistical analysis, multi- ple logistic regression analysis was performed using the presence or absence of pitting edema as dependent variables, and the depth of surface imprint, sex, age, height, weight, and body mass index as independent variables. Then, a cutoff point was obtained from the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the sensitivity and specificity were cal- culated. Consequently, the depth of the surface imprint was extracted as a factor that af-fects the presence or absence of pitting edema, with an odds ratio of 135.0. From the ROC curve, the cutoff point of the depth of surface imprint was 2.25,with a sensitivity of 0.83 and a specificity of 1.00.
