Abstract
In rehabilitation field, there is a need for quantitative evaluation that does not depend on the subjective evaluation of therapist. The final aim of this research is to develop a quantitative evaluation support system of shoulder joint motor function by use of the three-dimensional force display robot (URRobo). In this paper, we constructed a quantitative evaluation support system by implementing the proposed quantitative evaluation method of the shoulder joint motor function to the URRobo. The URRobo reproduced the inspection movement of the shoulder joint motor function performed by the therapist. During the inspection, the URRobo measured a subject's force and rotational angle about the six basic movements. Then, we carried out experiments to verify the inspection accuracy with the quantitative evaluation support system. As a result, it was confirmed that the sensitivity was 75% and the idiosyncrasy was 75%.
