1st Prototype System of PLEMO-Z which is Practical Use Version of Upper Limbs Rehabilitation System PLEMO Series

Abstract

There are a lot of patients with movement impairment who are paralyzed by brain stroke. Sufficient rehabilitative training is necessary for these patients. Furusho and collaborators developed active type 3D Upper Limbs rehabilitation system EMUL at the 5-year NEDO Project and and 6-DOF Upper Limbs rehabilitation system “Serafy “ at the 2-year NEDO Project.
