片麻痺者を対象とした卓上型リハビリロボットの開発

抄録

The hemiplegic patients are expected to improve their exercise function through rehabilitation. Recently, the rehabilitation robot has received significant attention for upper limb therapy due to its low effort training repeatability and the possibility to measure movements. Robot systems for the upper limb function exist, but large ones they are not so common. Therefore, in this study, we have developed a rehabilitation robot which can be easily used on a table. In addition to that, the newly developed rehabilitation robot has a simple ARToolkit measurement device on board. Furthermore, to determine the practicality of the developed rehabilitation robot, we have identified the difference of motor skill in the upper limb between able-bodied people who differ in physical ability.
