Abstract:	There are three key points in the operation of the Foot Massage Stick: sequence, direction and force. However, the force is not easy to be described and not easy to be learned. In order to provide the operator with visualization and information about the force during the operation, a pressure sensing massage stick was developed in this study. The features developed in this study are as follows. 1) The function of the assistive device is in line with the precision level of commercially available instruments. 2) The force and time duration of the operation can be displayed at any time during the execution process. 3) At the end of the execution, the maximum, average, standard deviation, and time duration of the force of the operation can be presented. This visualizes the force of the operation and makes it easy for the learner to check and meet the requirements for use.
