Abstract

The invention discloses a walking type under-actuated three-degree of freedom ankle joint movement recovery exoskeleton, comprising a driving mechanism, a shank fixing mechanism, a three-degree of freedom ankle joint and a thenar support. For patients with foot drop, the invention can utilize previously programmed walking program to serve as a tool for assisting walking and correcting gait. When people is in walking training, the human ankle can rotate in the axial plane according to an ankle angle curve input into the controller; the input standard ankle angle curve can adaptively adjust according to a man-machine interaction force; the exoskeleton provides a driving force for normal motion of the axial plane of the human ankle, synchronously satisfies the motion ranges of other two degree of freedom, prevents the damage to foot and interference to normal life due to towing and impacting caused by the foot drop, and improves the dorsiflexion ability of the patients with foot drop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a walking underactuated three-degree-of-freedom ankle joint sports rehabilitation exoskeleton, which belongs to the field of sports rehabilitation equipment. Background technique [0002] Foot drop causes the patient's toes to touch the ground and drag, and has a typical "circle gait" when walking, which is very unfavorable for patients going up and down stairs and daily life. Therefore, correcting foot drop, breaking the extensor spasm pattern, and making the ankle produce active ankle dorsiflexion are of great significance for correcting gait and improving walking ability. The common rehabilitation method for foot drop is that nurses help ankle dorsiflexion, and the rehabilitation effect is limited by the number and experience of nurses. The wearable belt-driven ankle rehabilitation device is a new direction for research on how to help patients achieve active ankle dorsiflexion and prevent foot drop during walking. Content...
