Abstract

A wearable robotic device for the rehabilitation training of a limb with moisture and pressure management functions. Such wearable robotic device comprises a motor rotation system and a bracing system, wherein the motor rotation system comprises a motor and a motor control system; and the bracing system comprises a framework of structural members that is attachable to and detachable from the limb, one or more textile bracing cushions and one or more fastening belts attached to each of the textile bracing cushions such that the fastening belts and the textile bracing cushions in combination are capable of attaching the wearable robotic device onto the limb.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wearable robotic device for rehabilitation purposes, and more particularly to a mechanism for mounting a wearable robotic device to a human arm. Background technique [0002] For patients who suffer movement impairments due to injury or other medical conditions, such as stroke patients, rehabilitation plays a large role in helping them regain muscle control in the affected limb. Rehabilitation often involves subjecting the affected limb to repetitive exercises, and patients often require assistance to perform prescribed movements. Physiotherapy and occupational therapists are often assisted during a recovery period. However, in some situations, the intensity of assistance necessary exceeds what the therapist can provide. Moreover, patients sometimes want to perform rehabilitation training outside the rehabilitation period, so rehabilitation robots appear accordingly. [0003] Rehabilitation robots broadly refer to ...
