抄録

Now, an exercise has attention because of an increase in health conscious. But the more exercising population increase, the more number of injured increase. These injured are required for rehabilitation. Then, by departing from an exercise, rehabilitation is prolonged. So applying a competitive exercise to the rehabilitation, it is expected that injured athlete would return to the competitive field in a short term. The purpose of this study is the development of device that can be prevented reducing the muscle, the joint range of motion and the sense in action athletics by using reproduction of the action of running. The rehabilitation device is designed by using a planar 6-link mechanism and to reproduce the movement of the human leg in the action of the running by the movement of the link. Then, it is possible to follow a variety of leg trajectory using adjustable link. The device to follow a motion of foot is improved by adding a linkage for arms to the device.
