Abstract

Office workers who hold a static posture during prolonged computer work have the highest incidence of neck disorders. Clinical massage, as one of the main treatment methods, has been proved to be effective by many studies. The proposed idea is to record what the therapist did in the massage treatment and recreate that with the device. This project focused on the actuating system. At the end of this project, the accuracy of the recreated massage was evaluated.
