Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed the two kinds of rehabilitation robots with the assisting functions with the automated arrangement function of the difficulty level of training. We have compared the brain activities of the quasi-walking on the robot. We have developed the operational panel with displaying the foot pressure information. Also, we made the belts covering patient’s waist and hip for preventing falling. In addition, we have had discussions on the above functions with medical doctors and physical therapists.
