Rehabilitation for upper limb is important for stroked patients and the aged people with motor disorder. In recent years, the rehabilitation system using robot and virtual reality is expected to quantify the effect of rehabilitative training. Robot system can enhance the motivation of an operator by creating new training methods on robot system. Furusho Laboratory of Osaka University has been developing many 3-D rehabilitation systems with high safety by using virtual reality technologies. On the other hand, the rehabilitation focusing on the neuro-science is more effective. Dr. Miyai (Morinomiya Hospital) has established observation system of the brain activities during treadmill exercises for healthy adults. In this paper, we describe about the development of evaluation system of motor function for upper limbs using 3-D rehabilitation Robot "EMUL" and brain function imaging method "NIRS". This makes the evaluation system more quantitative. This work is joint research between Osaka University and Morinomiya Hospital.
