  • Patent number: 8038579
    Abstract: A system for training and evaluating bilateral symmetric force output of upper limbs has a force application unit of bilateral upper limbs, a movable link unit, a signal conversion unit, a computing unit and a driving unit. The force application unit of bilateral upper limbs has at least two force sensors. When stroke patients perform training, the system can instantaneously measure values of forces exerted by users and sensed by the sensors, and determine if the movable link unit is driven according to a pre-configured training pattern, so that both hands of patients are allowed to perform training movements pushing forward and pulling backward to promote training mechanism of dual-brain hemisphere organization and improve moving capability of upper limb of affected side.
