Movements of the upper limbs are indispensable for daily activities. Rehabilitation for upper limbs is important for aged people or patients of ataxia caused by damages to their central nerve system. In recent years, the needs for rehabilitation support systems are increasing, which use robot technology and virtual reality technology. Applying these technologies make efficient rehabilitation possible. We have developed a 6-DOF rehabilitation support robot for upper limbs and its application software. The symptom that the system aims at is cerebellar ataxia. The patients of cerebellar ataxia need trainings for coordination movement. The application software deals with two techniques of physical therapy: rhythmic stabilization and FNF (Finger-Nose-Finger) test. We conducted some fundamental experiments using the rehabilitation system, and demonstrated the availability of the system.
