A Rehabilitation Robot and Its Industrial Design for Human Lower Limb Training

A rehabilitation training robot was proposed to focus on the recovery of human lower limbs function, including the recovery of walking ability of stroke rehabilitation patients, elderly person with weak motor function of lower limbs, people with lower limbs dyskinesia caused by accidents or disasters, and so on, so as to solve the shortage of intelligent rehabilitation aids. Consisting of mechanism, control system, and safety system, the robot was also integrated with various sensors. The training people with the real-time accompany of these sensors and the human-machine interaction system was attempted to achieve the functions of real-time automatically forward, left and right turning, anti-falling, and so on. Experiment results show that the system is simple and reliable. Two generations of lower limb rehabilitation training robots had been developed, the first generation had been applied in the hospital for preliminary application. In this paper, the second generation of rehabilitation training robot was improved in shape and partial function, and the design scheme of the robot was put forward, laying the technique foundation for further promotion of rehabilitation robot in the field of rehabilitation medicine.
