Okayama University unveils its first Wrist Rehabilitation Robot

This is a wrist rehabilitation robot developed by a research group at Okayama University for use by people who have suffered strokes or spinal cord injuries. “This device uses a parallel link structure and a pneumatic cylinder with actuator. The characteristic of the parallel link structure is that the upper side moves in the X, Y and Z-axes, and rotates around the X, Y and Z rotational axes, so it has 6 degrees of freedom.We are thinking of using this robot to perform rehabilitation of peoples' wrists.
