Abstract

A thumb function rehabilitation exoskeleton robot relates to exoskeleton robots. The thumb function rehabilitation exoskeleton robot solves the problem that existing rehabilitation mechanical arm cannot thoroughly simulate natural motions of finger joints, is poor in rehabilitation treatment effects and lacks a sensing function. According to the thumb function rehabilitation exoskeleton robot, an interphalangeal joint unit and a metacarpophalangeal joint unit drive thumb joints and metacarpophalangeal joints to bend or stretch through flat guide rod mechanisms; a thumb carpal joint unit is centered to the carpal joint of a thumb directly through a metacarpal adjustment mechanism to achieve contracting or extending motions of the carpal joint; a transmission driving mechanism is powered by a direct current motor; a cable reel module transfers the moment output by the direct current motor to the interphalangeal joint unit, the metacarpophalangeal unit and the carpal joint unit through Bowden cables. The thumb function rehabilitation exoskeleton robot is applicable thumb function rehabilitation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an exoskeleton robot for thumb function rehabilitation, belonging to the field of rehabilitation robots. Background technique [0002] Since the human hand often touches various tools frequently to complete some delicate and high-intensity operations under the condition of lack of protection, the hand becomes one of the most vulnerable organs. In the past ten years, researchers at home and abroad have also developed many robots for hand function rehabilitation, but nearly 70% of the robots only support the flexion / extension movement of the four fingers, and there are very few robots that can actively support the movement of the thumb. The thumb is the key to realizing the grasping movement function of the human hand. If the thumb is lost, the function of the hand will be lost by nearly 40%. [0003] There are three main types of movement of the thumb: flexion / extension, adduction / abduction, and palmar / return movement. Opposit...
