Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the research is confirmation of effectiveness of the standing training support robot which improves the motor function of the paralyzed leg of the patients suffering hemiplegia from a stroke. For this purpose, 1. Standing training support robot which achieves essentially safe and less burden of subject is developed. 2. Linear motor to move the robot arms are developed. 3. Control system for the robot are developed the control system can assist the standing motion of subject while reducing uncomfortableness from robot using. 4. From subjective experiments, I confirmed that a main function of the robot operates correctly. The function is adjusting load of the ill foot. The function is important for rehabilitation of the ill foot of the patients suffering from hemiplegia.
