Abstract
This paper describes a device to support rehabilitation of a patient’s upper limb motion. For safety, light weight, and flexibility, it uses a pneumatic cylinder, for which the optimum arrangement is presented. The rehabilitation support device has two rehabilitation modes corresponding to different rehabilitation contents. A compliance control system and a position control system are applied for those modes. We evaluate the effectiveness of the rehabilitation support mode through some experimentation.
