Abstract
In Japan, one of the major causes of death is vascular disease (stroke). If the patient stroke movement disorders such as hands and feet paralyzed prone, the limbs were allowed to stand, would be joint contracture. We develop a hydraulic rehabilitation equipment using a bellows for the purpose of preventing finger contractures. Rehabilitation equipment has the mechanism that allows hands and fingers flexion and extension automatically. In this report, we rethink the mechanical section of rehabilitation equipment, and develop a new mechanical section of rehabilitation equipment.
