Responding to the global aging society, various welfare and rehabilitation machineries are developed and sold for the purpose of care prevention and independence recovery of the senior citizen recently. In this study, an automatic stretching machine, newly developed, for the ankle joint was studied, and the measurements of EMG and EEG were carried out at the training time of young people, focusing on the muscle load and comfortableness. The former was evaluated by %MVC and the latter by the contained ratio of α wave in EEG. These are compared with that of the conventional static stretching machine. The main results are: (1) For the conventional static stretching machine, soleus muscles only relates to an ankle movement, while for the dynamic stretching machine relates to the soleus muscle, sural muscle, and tibialis anterior muscle. (2) The relationship between the muscle load on soleus and comfortableness during the training was investigated: for the athletes, both physical load and contained ratio of α wave were high, that is, the training might be effectively performed by the dynamic machine, however for the non-athletes, the ratio of α wave was lesser.
