Do you wanna see your muscles in motion while rehab?

Associate Professor Toshiakio Tsuji's Lab at Saitama University has developed R-cloud, a rehabilitation support robot that enables the patient to view how their own muscles move during rehabilitation and training. 

R-cloud calculates subtle muscles movements and quantifies this into data, which helps physiotherapists to provide accurate instruction on movement, and patient to confirm their own movements. This robot has a sensor and a sensor to measure the arm angle. Based on the data collected from these sensors, conclusions are made on the force of muscle contraction within the arm, as well as on the amount of calories consumed by each muscle during training.
