Since the beginning of the 21 st century, the development of rehabilitation robotics has attracted considerable interest to researchers. In recent years, a large number of exoskeleton limbs have been developed for assistance and rehabilitation. The primary purpose of the auxiliary exoskeleton is to support patients with complete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) who have no possibility of recovering movement. Another is the rehabilitation exoskeleton developed for stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury patients with the aim of promoting cortical motor reorganization to improve the walking pattern of the patient.
The rehabilitation robot is produced by combining the technical field of robots with the medical field of rehabilitation therapy, is a new technology for supplementing or replacing professional doctors to finish the rehabilitation training of human limbs, opens up a new path for the rehabilitation therapy of hemiplegic patients of the limbs, and makes up the defects of the clinical therapy of the hemiplegic patients. The treatment method of the rehabilitation training robot is to connect the affected limb with the robot, and the limb of the patient is driven by the robot to complete various actions and stimulate the nerve control system of the limb joint and muscle of the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering the limb movement function of the patient. The mode reduces the dependence on a treating physician, can help a medical doctor to complete heavy and repeated rehabilitation training tasks, and helps a patient to recover the limb motor function better.
