Description

Hand rehabilitation device and hand thumb control device based on spherical connecting rod mechanism

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation training instruments, and particularly relates to a hand rehabilitation device and a hand thumb control device based on a spherical connecting rod mechanism.

Background

The hand is an important organ on our body, and plays an important role in our daily life and work. But patients suffer from various degrees of nerve damage and limb movement disorders due to accidents (e.g., car accidents, industrial injuries) or diseases (e.g., stroke), which seriously affect their quality of life and mobility. The traditional hand rehabilitation scheme depends on the experience and level of doctors to a great extent, and the traditional hand rehabilitation scheme has the disadvantages of high labor intensity of the doctors, low efficiency and difficulty in achieving the expected rehabilitation effect in the rehabilitation training process. Therefore, a hand rehabilitation device is needed to make up for some defects of professionals and improve rehabilitation effect.

The invention relates to a rigid hand rehabilitation exoskeleton robot. The existing rigid hand exoskeleton robot scheme mostly adopts an underactuated design, and can rarely realize independent actuation of different joints of fingers. In addition, the existing scheme adopts a Bowden cable for driving, so that the friction force is large and the reliability is poor. In the aspect of motion function, although partial schemes can realize two-degree-of-freedom independent driving of other hands except for the thumb, the motion adaptive compatible design of the fingers is not realized, and the wearing comfort is poor. For the thumb driving scheme, the existing scheme mainly adopts a Bowden cable to drive to complete independent driving of the thumb, and a rigid mechanism is not used to complete independent driving of the thumb. The project mainly solves the design problems of thumb independent driving and motion compatibility, and improves the motion function and wearing comfort of the hand exoskeleton robot.
