“…Furthermore, even in clinical practice, especially to assess the patients with motor function disorder, the working distance and movement pattern is studied to observe the improvement of motor function recovery. The inspection procedure not only considers one aspect or point of view but the standard protocol of the evaluation also considers multidimensional aspects such as the progress of the motor function recovery, the mechanism of recovery, the body change to the paralyzed side of the patients and other aspects related to the patient's condition which are quantitatively analyzed [20]- [22]. Therefore, the evaluation method of the sanding movement training assessed in our novel measurement system suggests that obtaining motion distance and motion speed, which objectively evaluate the exercise capacity and the range of motion during the training session is effective.…”

Many stroke patients nowadays prefer home rehabilitation, which limits their access to proper rehabilitation equipment, treatment, or assessment by therapists. Currently, the rehabilitation programs neglect to maintain a patient's motivation in doing rehabili tation exercises. The programs also lack a monitoring system to evaluate the patients' performance quantitatively although this is the most cru cial element in rehabilitation. In order to solve these problems, we have developed a novel measurement system for upper limb motor disorder rehabilitation using an optical sensor. This system consists of an optical sensor device, a personal computer and a computerized calculated program for upper limb locus position. The optical sensor detects the user's motions and calculates position and velocity. The sanding block position, velocity and the motion length of the block during the sanding task of five subjects with motor funct ion disorder were measured. The accuracy of the trajectories was similar in all the actual measured subjects. These outcomes have a potential for the development of rehabilitation training programs and evaluation methods.

“…Applications range from training in dental techniques1 and laparoscopic surgery2 to the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy or stroke with functionally impaired upper or lower limbs 3 4. Recently, a group in Illinois, USA reported that they had used haptic technology successfully to assess the variation in surgical proficiency among orthopaedic residency trainees 5.…”

“…Virtual reality environments and games have been developed and combined with Rehab robots to facilitate long-term training and increase movement in therapy [16,17]. Miyoshi et al (2010) pointed out that drawing a circle requires complex movements and the coordination of multiple muscular co-contractions as well as eccentric activity [18] in the medial/lateral and forward/ backward directions. Ju et al (2005) used a robot to guide the upper limbs of subjects in linear and circular movements [19].…”

“…Ju et al (2005) used a robot to guide the upper limbs of subjects in linear and circular movements [19]. Based on previous works [18,19], the complex circle-drawing movement should enhance the coordination and motoring of shoulder flexion/extension. Motions that mimic circle drawing in the vertical plane are common in daily life, such as turning a steering wheel or cleaning windows.…”

Cerebral vascular disease is the leading cause of functional disability among adults. Approximately half of all stroke survivors continue to suffer from severe neurological deficits and hemiparesis in the upper extremities as well as many secondary complications due to immobilization. Robotics can provide highly intensive intervention in stroke rehabilitation as well as an objective means of measuring patient progress. This study designs an upper limb rehabilitation (Rehab) robot with multiple degrees of freedom. This design provides a wider range of motion in 3-dimentional space than that provided by an existing endpoint-fixation system. In addition, unlike cable suspension systems that lack biofeedback, the sensors incorporated into the proposed design can be used to detect the voluntary force produced by the stroke patient. The Rehab robot features an exoskeleton-type design with in-built redundancy, a guidance control system, and force feedback using an electromyographic trigger. Three rehabilitation modes can be selected by physical therapists according to the severity of the patient's upper-limb impairment: passive, active, and guidance. Guidance mode assists patients in motor training, with programs such as drawing circles, which involves complex movements that require coordination between the shoulder and elbow joints. Such skills are ideally suited to relearning functional tasks following a stroke. Physical experiments were conducted in this pilot study to evaluate the performance of the Rehab robot. The results indicate that the robot could be effective. Guidance mode achieves the desired guidance functions, informing the subject of the pose required to complete the task as well as enabling them to reduce unnecessary muscle use.
