  • Abstract
    New training methods and exercises for upper limbs rehabilitation are made possible by application of robotics and virtual reality technology. The technologies can make quantitative evaluations and enhance the qualitative effect of training. This paper deals with the development of a 6-DOF rehabilitation machine for upper limbs including wrists using ER actuators "robotherapist".
