抄録

The present paper proposes a cooperative neuro-rehabilitation methodology for the enhancement of motivations of patients with motor disorders in their long-term training using robotic devices.The prototype system is constructed with 4-D.O.F manipulandum with two handles so that two operators can carry out a cooperative visuomotor task, in which the air-hockey game and the balance seesaw game can be provided.The preliminary tests of the balance seesaw games are carried out by two healthy volunteers, and the results show the possibility of the proposed cooperative training approach for neuro-rehabilitaion.
