The present invention relates to a device for curing hemiparalysis which is for curing the paralyzed side of the human body, the device comprising: a robot worn on the paralyzed side of the human body; a motion measuring unit measuring the movement of the ipsilateral side corresponding to the body with the robot; and a controlling unit connecting with the robot and the motion measuring unit; wherein the controlling unit controls the robot based on the movement of the ipsilateral side inputted and measured from the motion measuring unit, and the paralyzed side with the robot moves correspondingly to the movement of the ipsilateral side. The device of the present invention may further comprise: a shield blocking the view of an object for the movement of the ipsilateral side or a mirror blocking the view of an object for the movement of the paralyzed side. Accordingly, the device of the present invention helps to cure hemiparalysis by maximizing the induction of brain plasticity of a patient suffering from hemiparalysis.
