Rehabilitation exercises which maintain a patient’s interest and quantitative evaluation of rehabilitation are required. To solve these problems, we have development of measuring equipment for upper limb motor function rehabilitation using optical sensor. This system consists of an optical sensor device, a personal computer and calculator program for upper limb position. When users move the optical sensor, the motion measuring equipment calculates position. We measured the optical sensor position and migration length during a sanding task and wiping. The accuracy of the optical sensor trajectories was similar in all actual measured value. These results can be use for the development of rehabilitation training programs and evaluation methods.
