Yūma Takahashi, the producer of the anime series, indicated a desire to continue production of the series with the Ufotable Production Team. The sequel project was greenlit following the success of the television series. A film was determined to be the best format for the "Mugen Train" arc due to the arc's shorter content and dramatic pacing. [8] The main cast was made aware of the film project midway through the first season of the television series. [9] The main production staff from the anime television series, as well as the cast, were carried over into the film's production. Haruo Sotozaki served as director, with Akira Matsushima and Manabu Kamino serving as animator and editor of the film, respectively. The film was announced on September 28, 2019, immediately following the airing of the anime series' season finale. [10] Release [ edit ] Theatrical [ edit ] Mateo, Alex (February 26, 2021).

It has been widely accepted that rhythmic locomotion in vertebrate animals, including mammals, is based on the activity of the CPG, which exists in the neuronal circuits within the spinal cord [ 26]. The CPG produces periodic and alternating motor patterns (e.g., flexion and extension) via excitation and inhibition of interneurons in the central nervous system. Several studies have reported that the spinal circuits in patients with SCI may produce a rhythmic muscle activation pattern for locomotion closely similar to CPG-induced responses [ 27– 29]. These findings suggest that CPG in humans likely exists throughout the lumbar and upper sacral spinal cord. In the robotics field, the CPG model has also been utilized to generate flexible, rhythmic walking using the bipedal robot [ 31– 33]. The control scheme of the curara system, which we designed, is based on the concept of CPG, thereby supporting rhythmic walking of patients with SCD. Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD), an intractable neurodegenerative disease, most often develops a slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia. Patients with SCD predominantly suffer from gait disturbance due to the degeneration and loss of nerve cells in the cerebellum, brainstem, spinal cord, and basal ganglia [ 1, 2]. The cerebellar ataxic gait associated with SCD, therefore, not only shows an increased postural sway but also poses the risk of falling down [ 3]. Although the rate of disease progression varies with the disease subtype and the individual, the patients are eventually confined to a wheelchair or are bedridden. Such decreased daily activity could then lead to disuse syndrome, including the development of arthrogryposis, muscular atrophy, thromboembolism, and aspiration pneumonia. Curative medical treatment for SCD, unfortunately, has not been reported. The first part of the second season of the anime television series, subtitled Mugen Train Arc, is an extended and recompiled version of the film that ran for a total of 7 episodes. The first episode of the part is an entirely new episode that focuses on what Kyojuro did immediately before the events of the film, while the remaining 6 episodes are recompiled cuts of the film with several slight edits performed on them to account for its episodic format. It was broadcast in Japan from October 10 to November 28, 2021. [24] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] Winners | International Press Academy". Archived from the original on February 1, 2021 .

Under condition C, the HRs in the anteroposterior, mediolateral, and vertical directions (HR-AP, HR-ML, and HR-V) were especially high compared with those under conditions A and B. The results of the statistical analyses using repeated measures analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s test showed that gait support with condition C results in a statistically significant increase in the HR-AP (2.04 ±0.52; p=0.025) and HR-V (2.06 ±0.37; p=0.032) when compared with walking without assistance from the system. In contrast, the gait speed, stride length, and cadence under condition C were no major changes in most patients, compared with the patient’s walking without assistance.
