Description

Intelligent mechanical electronic exoskeleton of lower limb brain and comprehensive control system thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nerve electrophysiology, in particular to an intelligent mechanical and electronic exoskeleton for a lower limb brain and a comprehensive control system thereof.
Background
At present, a plurality of scientific research institutions and companies in the world are developing products such as mechanical exoskeleton, mechanical artificial limbs and the like, the products help people with limb dysfunction assist limb activities or limb rehabilitation, and at present, the products drive mechanical parts by means of reading muscle electric signals, electronic sensor signals or modules, and the method is only suitable for partial people such as people with limb loss or peripheral nerve damage, but is not suitable for patients with hemiplegia, high paraplegic, motor neuron diseases (gradually freezing people) and the like caused by cerebrovascular diseases. The product can not establish a two-way nerve feedback path with the brain, and can not realize the brain-like full bionic function. There are also some mechanical exoskeleton related patents or products based on electroencephalogram signals, and these products are based on steady-state visual evoked potentials (Visual evoked potentail, SSVEP) as control cores of devices, but SSVEP is limited in a very large number of conditions: (1) objective factors include: any lesion in the entire visual conduction path can render the device unusable. Such as common myopia and hyperopia, astigmatism, glaucoma, cataract, multiple vision due to various reasons, fundus hemorrhage, fundus arteriosclerosis, macular degeneration, papillary edema due to various reasons, optic atrophy and lesions, optic demyelination, intracranial tumor pressing optic nerve or visual cross, various intracranial lesions involving optic nerve conduction pathways (such as most common cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, etc.), visual cortical lesions such as occipital She Gengsi hemorrhage, etc., can render the device unusable. In addition, the motor nerves, pulley nerves and abductor nerves that innervate the extraocular muscles, any one of which is damaged for any reason, render the device unusable, and these diseases are precisely the very common clinical diseases. (2) subjective factors include: the currently internationally accepted VEP detection method is that a tested person views a continuously turned black-white checkerboard, so that a visual pathway generates a signal to detect whether the visual pathway is unobstructed or not, but the visual evoked potential generation mode obviously cannot be used for controlling limb movement. Therefore, in order for a subject to generate an effective visual evoked potential that can induce exercise function, there is a need for an internationally accepted solution for generating visual evoked potentials, and the solution is inconsistent, which results in a great deal of variability and is difficult to be accepted. The visual potential generation scheme of the equipment is not widely accepted by clinical experiments and professions, and the usability and popularization are unknown, so that the application range of the equipment is greatly limited and the reliability cannot be inferred.
Upright walking is the most basic physiological function of humans, and some diseases such as: cerebrovascular disease, spinal cord disease, peripheral nerve disease, muscle disease, etc. cause hemiplegia, paraplegia or muscle deficiency of human, thereby affecting normal walking function of human. Rehabilitation training of early strength and gait of the lower limbs is extremely important. However, there are problems in theory and mechanism for rehabilitation of lower limb functions at present, the loss of lower limb functions is caused by the damage of central nervous system loops, the lower limb itself is not problematic, and the rehabilitation measures at present focus on the lower limb itself without exception, so that the actual effect of nerve rehabilitation is very poor. In addition, the existing lower limb rehabilitation equipment and training measures are few, the method is single, and the force and gait training of real upright walking cannot be performed at an early stage; the rehabilitation therapy of the manipulation of the rehabilitation engineer lacks sustainability, systematicness and effectiveness, and the autonomous rehabilitation training of the patient is often abandoned early due to the slow effect and the loss of the rehabilitation confidence of the patient.
