Abstract

This paper explains a pedaling machine of a left-right-asymmetric type for lower-limb rehabilitation. Since most commercially available machines for the rehabilitation of lower limbs are symmetric, people with lower-limb injuries have to adapt themselves to the machines to do exercises. To solve this problem, we have been developing a new kind of pedaling machine that can easily be used to adapt the requirements for left-right asymmetry of lower limbs. Main points in the design of a prototype of a half model for one leg of the machine are summarized. Preliminary tests with a tread force sensor and some electromyogram (EMG) sensors are carried out and are showed the feasibility of the machine.
