We are designing a rehabilitation unit for the ankle joint motion. In order to ease rehabilitation and training exercise, the motions must be soft yet repetitive. We adopted McKibben type pneumatic actuators in order to softly drive gimbal mechanism for two dimensional motion for ankle joint. This rehabilitation unit for ankle joint is used for two purposes: to expand the motion range of ankle and to strengthen the muscles for moving ankle. This time, we applied the rehabilitation unit to the person of single fracture of ankle in our research group. Range of motion of ankle and iEMG for ankle muscles are measured for two weeks. The experimental results show that this rehabilitation unit helps to recover the motion range and muscles for ankle.
