Summary:MOMO is an arm support for upper extremity function in patients with intractable neurological diseases and high-level spinal cord injuries. In this study, we performed an intervention using MOMO for a patient who presented with depression and apathy after stroke, refused rehabilitation, and had decreased motivation for activities. As a result, we succeeded in promoting the improvement of self-efficacy in patients who had a pessimistic view of their own physical condition, leading to improvements in ARS and MAL scores. These results suggest that using MOMO to help participants participate in meaningful tasks, may improve self-efficacy, and the subjects may become more motivated about life in general.
