A 3-D hand rehabilitation system using haptic device

The human brain has self-organization capability after paralysis caused by stork. This needs neuro-rehabilitation for stroke-patients. Recently, robotic technology is successfully applied in the rehabilitation. Most of robot rehabilitation devices are in 2-dimension, and do not have feedback from the environment. The rehabilitation effectiveness is not so good. In this paper, we design a 3-demension rehabilitation system, which has force feedback. The patients have one more training dimension and one more sense (haptic feeling). The neuro recovery time is less than the other robot rehabilitation methods.
