In our country the number of handicapped people is estimated to increase because of sickness and injury, etc. Because of their physical handicaps, activities of daily life (ADL) will become difficult. So, handicapped people require training for rehabilitation to recover their ability to use upper limbs. In rehabilitation training, the patient and the occupational therapist (O.T.) train together. The O.T. demonstrates and facilitates motions that give a constant load to patient's limbs and moves their limbs, slowly repeating the flexion and extension. The machine can often substitute for the O.T. 's motion in rehabilitation. Therefore, we developed an upper limb rehabilitation support system using a pneumatic cylinder. In this paper, we reports the characteristics and the rehabilitation support functions of the system.
