Abstract
The first author has developed TANABE therapy for severe hemiplegic stroke patients. In this paper we developed a training system (UR-System-PARKO) on the basis of TANABE therapy. The clinical test of the therapeutic effect of the UR-System-PARKO was performed in severe plegic hand. The results show the effectiveness of the training by the UR-System-PARKO for recovery of motor function for finger extension of the severe plegic hand.
