Recently, the number of elderly people is expected to increase because of aging society. They will become difficult to activities of daily life (ADL) because of physical handicaps by sickness and injury, etc. So, handicapped people need 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. support motions that give a constant load to patient's limbs and moves their limbs, slowly repeating the flexion and extension. The device can often substitute for the O.T.'s motion in rehabilitation. Therefore, we developed an upper limb rehabilitation support system using a pneumatic cylinder. We report the characteristics and the rehabilitation support functions of the system.
