| Research Abstract |
In this research，we produced a new device which can adjust optionally the speed and the range of motion in the hip abduction and measured the force of the subject's hip adduction by using the measurement system including the device. As a result, the maximum force was decreased by adding an electric stimulation to antagonistic muscle in healthy adults. On the other hand, motion with fast speed made force small in bedridden old men.
