Abstract

PLEMO-Prototype
Many patients who have their movement impaired by paralysis after a cerebral stroke require extensive rehabilitation. Rehabilitation support systems for the upper limbs using force display devices are expected to quantify the effects of rehabilitative training and enhance the motivation of patients. Furusho and Haraguchi have developed force display systems for rehabilitation training that use functional yet highly safe fluid actuators and brakes for the EMUL, Robotherapist and PLEMO Series.
