Development of Mirror Symmetric Type Rehabilitation Support System Using Passive Force Display

Abstract

Rehabititation training includes one-handed exercise training and two-handed exercise training. Although many one-handed rehabilitation robots have been developed, the development of two-handed rehabilitation robots is scarce. A two-handed rehabilitation robot is needed to support the paralyzed arm with the non-paralyzed arm. In this paper, we report on the development of mirror symmetric type rehabilitation support system using passive force display as two-handed rehabilitation robot.
