Abstract:: This paper proposes a novel sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit (STS) training system for hemiplegic patients with clonus. Most hemiplegic patients depend on the unaffected leg and perform plantar flexion involuntarily during STS movements.

The system provides users' ground reaction force (GRF) through a monitor and supports STS movements by moving the seat. We also proposed STS training with physical inhibition by us… Show more
