When evaluating the level of impairment of stroke patients, the clinical scores, i.e. the Fugl-Meyer physical performance scale and/or the Brunn-Strom Stage based on a joint range of motion, pain, balance, were used to assess the residual sensory and motor functions. In the case of the motor control system, such as the motor cortex and a higher center, there were still unclear parts and could not achieve quantitative analysis, since the motor functions could not describe as some SI units. The purpose of this study was to develop the 3 degree-of-freedom wearable master-slave system to evaluate the motor control system from the view point of the somatosensory afferent feedback loops to enhance cerebral and spinal plasticities.
