Among the disabled people, only some are amputees, and most of the others are acquired physical movement dysfunction patients, such as hemiplegia caused by stroke, paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury, etc., and these patients are very likely to recover the physical movement function through proper and effective rehabilitation training. Traditional rehabilitation training is mostly assisted by rehabilitation doctors to carry out passive training, wastes time and energy and has an insignificant curative effect.
At present, the rehabilitation medical resources in China are very short, and the number of professional rehabilitation institutions, equipment and rehabilitation doctors is far from meeting the increasing rehabilitation requirements. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the medical technology of robot-assisted rehabilitation is gradually popularized.

Functional electrical stimulation is a nerve rehabilitation technology which utilizes artificial weak current pulse signals to stimulate muscle contraction of a patient and rebuild limb movement functions, and is beneficial to promoting blood circulation, preventing muscle disuse atrophy and improving muscle activity. But the use of functional electrical stimulation can cause muscle fatigue, which limits the duration of patient standing and walking activities; and for some long-term paralyzed patients, the torque generated by functional electric stimulation is insufficient, and the control is difficult.
