A robot for upper limb rehabilitation

Abstract

The invention discloses an upper limb rehabilitation robot comprising a horizontal shoulder joint component, a vertical shoulder joint component, an upper arm component, an auxiliary supporting component, an upper shoulder joint component and a front arm component. The upper shoulder joint component is connected to the horizontal shoulder joint component and the auxiliary supporting component; the horizontal shoulder joint component is connected to the vertical shoulder joint component; the vertical shoulder joint component is connected to the upper arm component; the upper arm component is connected to the front arm component. The robot is capable of implementing actions, namely extending, folding, unfolding, rotating inwardly and outwardly of a shoulder joint and extending of an elbow joint, with five degrees of freedom; rehabilitation actions of a patient can be adjusted according to movement requirements in different rehabilitation periods, and scientificity and flexibility of the rehabilitation actions are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of rehabilitation robots, in particular to an upper limb rehabilitation robot with multiple degrees of freedom. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of medical technology, stroke is no longer a life-threatening disease, but most survivors have residual sequelae such as hemiplegia. Due to the long course of the disease, slow recovery and limited recovery measures, many patients have lost their ability to take care of themselves, which has caused serious blows and burdens to the patients themselves and their families. According to medical theory and clinical medicine, as long as hemiplegia patients seize the golden recovery period of rehabilitation, within a limited period of 6 months, while strengthening passive training, they can also carry out active and active training to achieve brain remodeling and restore the brain. motor function. However, most patients have certain movement disorders, so t...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, most of the rehabilitation equipment currently available on the market is limited to the three degrees of freedom of flexion and extension, extension and retraction, and internal and external rotation for shoulder joint rehabilitation training, and cannot complete the flat movement of the shoulder and the flexion and extension of the elbow joint.
