| Research Abstract |
In this research, we focus on the method of rehabilitation with stretch reflexes for the hemiplegic upper limb in stroke patients. We propose a new device which utilizes electromagnetic force to evoke stretch reflexes. The device can exert anassisting force safely, because the electromagnetic force is noncontact force. We have developed a support system applying the proposed device for the functional recovery training of the hemiplegic upper limb. Furthermore we have added the function of electrical stimulation with threshold level to the support system in order to make voluntary motion of hemiplegic upper limbs. Then we have succeeded in supporting several stroke patients for the trainings.
