Abstract
This Paper describes on small rehabiritation equipment. If hands and feet are paralyzed by the apoplexy, and this paralysis is untreated, the joint is transformed, and contracted. After the attack, immediately rehabilitation is important to recover hands and feet who can actually use. It's just conceivable that physical therapist have a shortage along with a low birthrate and an aging population, because there are a lot of apoplexies in the elderly person. For this reason, the autonomous rehabilitation equipment is necessary. Then, in this report we adopt the bellows mechanism to respond to the movement of the finger flexibly, In addition, the method to drive the bellows mechanism by hydraulic cylinder was designed. We actually produced this autonomous rehabilitation equipment, and effectiveness of this mechanism was experimentally confirmed.
