Embodiment Construction

[0034] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following describes the embodiments of the present invention in further detail.

[0035] In practical applications, the FES alone system is significantly weaker than Exo in assisting walking function, while the therapeutic effect is significantly better than the latter, with different advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, some research teams have proposed a joint system concept of FES and Exo: With FES as the active control source of muscle movement, the Exo system carries various sensors to measure the joint motion angular velocity, angular acceleration and joint angle of the limbs and sends it to the main control unit. Feedback to control the intensity of FES stimulation and at the same time play a good auxiliary support role.

[0036] This kind of rehabilitation robot system based on FES and supplemented by Exo can not only play a good role in replacing the patien...

Abstract

The invention discloses a walker aid robot system based on a brain-machine-muscle information loop. The system is characterized in that a computer processes electroencephalogram data and electromyography data in real time and acquires a motion intention of a user by analyzing motion-related characters in the electroencephalogram data and the electromyography data; the computer obtains motion intention information and motion state information of the user, then feeds the information into a hybrid walker aid driving model, and outputs two control parameters for respectively controlling a neuromuscular electrical stimulator and robotic exoskeleton; the first control parameter is used for controlling the neuromuscular electrical stimulator to apply electrical stimulation to the striding side with the motion intention to further drive the intention side to produce a striding action; the second control parameter is used for controlling the robotic exoskeleton to adjust a gravity center angleand further maintain the converting balance between standing and walking; the computer optimizes and cooperates a loop model consisting of a brain-machine information interaction module, a machine-muscle information interaction module and a brain-muscle information interaction module by taking neuroplasticity as an index, so as to establish the walker aid robot system with a high-compactness brain-machine-muscle information loop model.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, in particular to a walking assistance robot system based on a brain-machine-muscle information loop. Background technique [0002] The plastic change of the brain is the most essential factor in the rehabilitation of patients with motor dysfunction. The correct use of the plastic change of the central nervous system is particularly important for predicting and accelerating the rehabilitation process. Central nervous system plasticity means that the brain is affected by changes in behavior, environment, and emotions, especially neural pathways and physical damage, resulting in a series of changes in neural pathways or synaptic connections. Central nervous system plasticity occurs at many different levels, from changes in neuron cell size due to learning to large-scale remapping of cortical networks triggered by injury. The role of central nervous system plasticity in healthy developm...
