Abstract: Human arms or legs, by repeating inappropriate motion, even as it little by little, may cause serious disorders. In recent years, wearable motion amplification devices, to support human walk or sports training, are in development. However, these existing devices are only interested hi the large movement of the human body, and these device motions are simply. Therefore these device may cause the above such problems. This paper describes the development of a wearable wrist motion training device using the parallel link mechanism. Training device utilizes a shaft motor as an actuator. Therefore, this device is flexibility like fluid actuator, and can control easily like motor. The adoption of parallel link, it is possible to measure the motion of the wrist. In addition, it is possible to teach the details of articulation motion. In experiments, the teaching training of flexion-extension movement of the wrist joint are carried out using the training device, and has been confirmed that the motion has been properly taught to trainee.
