Flexible wearable shoulder joint assisting exoskeleton clothes

Abstract

The invention discloses a suit of flexible wearable shoulder joint assisting exoskeleton clothes. The flexible wearable shoulder joint assisting exoskeleton clothes comprise a driver used for outputting accurate tension and installed on a backboard worn by a human body, wherein the driver transmits the tension output by the driver to human upper limbs through a rope so as to assist in motion of shoulder joints. The flexible wearable shoulder joint assisting exoskeleton clothes further comprise a sensing module with a tension sensor and a navigation posture reference system, and the sensing module feeds back running status of the flexible wearable shoulder joint assisting exoskeleton clothes to the driver, and is installed on a big arm fabric worn on a human big arm. Accordingly, postures of the human upper limbs are monitored in real time through the navigation posture reference system, the driver outputs suitable torque for driving the rope so as to directly drag an anchor point on the big arm fabric, pull the big arm fabric and assist in the motion of the shoulder joints, and meanwhile the tension sensor feeds back actual tension magnitude, and the drivers adjusts the output torque in real time. The flexible wearable shoulder joint assisting exoskeleton clothes can assist in the motion the shoulder joints in real time according to status of the upper limbs, are portable in overall structure, can be convenient carried and used in daily life, cannot cause redundant constraints, and accord with human body engineering.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an exoskeleton device, which is a flexible and wearable shoulder joint power-assisted exoskeleton suit, specifically a flexible wearable device capable of assisting the movement of the shoulder joint and reducing the muscle load on the shoulder joint. Background technique [0002] The shoulder joint is one of the most complex and dexterous joints in the upper limb joints of the human body, and plays an indispensable role in the realization of complex and diverse tasks in activities of daily living. However, patients suffering from shoulder joint symptoms such as rotator cuff injury, subacromial impingement, and shoulder joint instability lose part or all of their shoulder joint mobility, which seriously affects their quality of life. [0003] At present, artificial physical therapy or rehabilitation exoskeleton are commonly used for rehabilitation. Artificial physical therapy is limited by venues and professionals, the...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Artificial physical therapy is limited by venues and professionals, the intensity and density of rehabilitation are limited, and the price is high

Rehabilitation exoskeletons can achieve intensive rehabilitation training, but most of the existing rehabilitation exoskeletons are bulky and cumbersome, and are likely to cause secondary injuries to patients during the training process

At the same time, the current treatment methods are limited to the rehabilitation stage, and cannot help patients with daily life activities when the shoulder joint capacity is insufficient.
