This paper reports on a field test of our simple force-sensor-based rehabilitation device that can be handled at homes or neighboring medical institutions. We propose a tri-axial load cell controller system for quantitatively evaluating the visually guided motor control characteristic of a weak palsy arm. The result is recorded in the database while evaluation is presented for each trial. The system is tested at an orthopedic clinic with outpatients: cervical spinal cord injured patient and 2 other cases. Their mid-term testing results are discussed.
