1A2-C02 An Exploratory clinical study of the safety and effectiveness of Robot Suit HAL(Medical Robotics and Mechatronics (2))

Abstract

In the development of rehabilitation robots it is important to gradually conduct clinical studies for safety and effectiveness in order to integrate human assistive robots into society. We have conducted the clinical study to explore the safety and effectiveness of robot suit HAL which supports and/or improves the physical ability of persons with a disability. In this paper, we introduce our clinical protocol and latest results on the exploratory clinical study with stroke patients.
