Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many muskuloskeletal patients are expected to rehabilitate at home, which limits their access to proper rehabilitation equipment, treatment, or assessment by therapists. We have developed a novel rehabilitation system with simple sensor. On the master side, the therapist can operate the device in a rehabilitation center. When performing passive training, the patient can receive the motion via the visible device. Finally, we successfully performed a system performance test for passive training.
