Soft-bodied robot glove for hand movement function recovery

Abstract

The invention provides a soft-bodied robot glove for hand movement function recovery. The soft-bodied robot glove comprises a decision processing module, a driving module, a flexible exoskeleton glove and a Bowden cable. The decision processing module is electrically connected with the driving module. One end of the Bowden cable is connected with the finger end of the flexible exoskeleton glove, and the other end of the Bowden cable is connected to a winch of the driving module. The decision processing module drives the Bowden cable through the winch of the driving module. By the adoption of the flexible exoskeleton glove, compared with a rigid exoskeleton, the wear comfort can be improved. The driving module and the flexible exoskeleton glove are separated, so that the wear burden on a user is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical rehabilitation machine, in particular to a soft robot glove used for hand motor function rehabilitation. Background technique [0002] Many diseases or traumas can lead to damage or even loss of the motor function of the human hand, and the hand is a very dexterous motor organ possessed by humans. to seriously affect. For example, the most common sequelae of stroke patients is hemiplegia, and the most difficult thing to recover is the motor function of the hand. Medical theory and practice have proved that in order to prevent muscle disuse atrophy, patients with limb injuries must carry out effective limb training to restore their functions. The hand exoskeleton robot can reduce the burden of rehabilitation therapists and can promote the initiative and enthusiasm of patients to participate in rehabilitation training, so as to improve the rehabilitation effect of hand function, which is of great significance.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Most of the weight of the device is concentrated in the hand, and the patient's hand strength is relatively small, which increases the burden of use during the rehabilitation process;

[0005] 2. When using a rigid exoskeleton, it cannot be guaranteed that the center of the exoskeleton joint and the center of the finger joint will always coincide. Once it deviates, it will cause discomfort when wearing it, and increase the patient's rejection of rehabilitation training;

[0006] 3. The four fingers except the thumb cannot move independently, which reduces the effect of rehabilitation training
