In this paper, we propose a simultaneous design method of motion and external force trajectories for shoulder inner muscles in the robot-aided rehabilitation system, based on a biomechanical analysis of patient's body. The rehabilitation efficiency evaluation function was maximized by Genetic Algorithm (GA), where the structure of spline curves parameters are pre-defined, and the structural parameters are explored to design smooth rehabilitation motion and external force trajectories.
