Abstract

Reaching movement is one of the important training for stroke patient to recover the impairment arm as this movement is critical for activities of daily living. A studied conducted to investigate the minimal requirement that a rehabilitation robot should have in order to train reaching movement in upward after the impairment arm start to overcome gravity. Result show some convex, linear and concave trajectory during reaching movement in upward direction depended on the level of the target distance. This study can be applied for designing a new simpler or improvement of the existing rehabilitation robot to train the upper limb for stroke patient.
