In recent years, the shortage of physiotherapists in nursing care has been pointed out. In order to support and assist physiotherapists, it is desirable to develop the rehabilitation robot. This paper describes the development of wearable wrist rehabilitation training device using parallel-link mechanisms. It is possible to train translational and rotational motion of the wrist joint. And, this device has reversible characteristics by the adoption of shaft motor. In experiments, the palmar flexion and dorsal flexion motions of 9 subjects were trained with a set of training data. Further, motion data during the training was recorded by a camera. The motion data was evaluated using a Correlation coefficient, and it was judged whether the training data is suitable for the trainee.
