Overview

Brief Summary

Comparison of two types of robot (Armeo power vs Armeo spring) for upper extremity rehabilitation on upper extremity function

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to compare two types of robot. The robot used in this experiment was Armeo power and Armeo spring. Armeo power could provide assistive force via motor, on the other hand, Armeo spring could not provide any assist. Thus the results from this study might suggest usefulness of motorized robot.
