Abstract

Towards the rehabilitation and training problems of older persons and lower limb disabilities, the paper proposes a new robot with lower limb exoskeleton for rehabilitation and walking assistance. The components and mechanical design of the robot are introduced in detail. Through the function combination of lower limb exoskeleton and wheelchair, the robot can help the users to maintain the lower limb movement effectively and provide them with a convenient tools for movement. The pedal-actuated motion training strategy can ensure the safety of users. The master-slave operational mode is put forward with multimodal rehabilitation training process control. Correctness and feasibility of the rehabilitation system are validated by computer simulation and experiment.
