We have developed a rehabilitation system for upper limbs, "PLEMO-P3", which utilizes ER brakes as torque generators and is one of the passive haptic devices. To detect abnormalities of patients, we developed a new sensing device and installed it on the grip of the PLEMO-P3. In this paper, we compare several kinds of information from the sensor system (grasping force, reaction force against a working plane, range of a wrist) and traditional assessment of stroke (BRS, FMA and STEF). We establish effective assessment and training methods with PLEMO-P3 system. We could found effect of training and strong correlation between them. We suggest a training method with PLEMO system depending on the results of clinical assessment. It was shown to be able to confirm the correlation of reaction force for working plane and wrist joint range of motion, and to detect synergy movement only with the wrist joint range of motion sensor. This correlation has been understood that it will equip it only with the wrist joint range of motion sensor, in practical use machine (PLEMO-P4).
