2P2-G03 Development of Upper-Limbs Rehabilitation System "PLEMO-P5"(Welfare Robotics and Mechatronics(2))

Abstract

In recent years, the number of stroke patients has been increasing. We obtained good rehabilitation training results in the clinical examination using Upper-Limbs Rehabilitation System PLEMO-P3. The rehabilitation systems for upper limbs using force display system are also expected to quantify the effect of rehabilitative training, and can enhance the motivation of patients. A passive-type force display system which uses only brake can ensure high safety. It can display resistance force by using brakes. We developped of Upper Limbs Rehabilitation System "PLEMO-P5". "PLEMO-P5" is expected to be highly effective rehabilitation system. In this system, The method of direct drive torque transmission is adopted.
