Abstract
"I would like to ride on a bicycle." is one of the requests from the patients in the post stroke rehabilitation. However, sufficient space and supporting therapists are required for the rehabilitation training. To solve these problems, bicycle simulator for rehabilitation has been developed. The system consists of a bicycle, a control computer, a visual system and a sound system. It can provide simulated scenery to the user and she/he can ride on a bicycle in the virtual world for motor and cognitive functional training. Training on the bicycle simulator is not only to achieve functional recovery but also to improve patient's quality of life and independent life by ensuring the transportation.
