1A1-F01 Development of New Software for Upper-limbsRehabilitation System PLEMO-Y(Welfare Robotics and Mechatronics (1))

Abstract

In these days, there are many patients with ataxia, which is paralysis caused by a brain stroke or asynergia. Early detection of functional deterioration and sufficient rehabilitativetraining are necessary for these patients. Rehabilitation support systems for upper limbs using force display devices are expected to quantify the effects of rehabilitative training and enhance the motivation of patients. This paper presents development of new software for upper-limbs rehabilitation system PLEMO-Y.
