A rehabilitation exoskeleton glove robot

Abstract

The invention provides a rehabilitation type exoskeleton glove robot, which is applied to the field of medical rehabilitation. The rehabilitation type exoskeleton glove robot comprises a thumb mechanism, an index finger mechanism and a control system, wherein the whole mechanism device is fixed on a rubber glove; the tail end of an index finger is fixed by the index finger mechanism through a front-end nylon buckle; a thumb is fixed by the thumb mechanism through the front-end nylon buckle; a pneumatic element 1 drives an index finger connecting rod mechanism, so that bending and straighteningof the index finger mechanism are achieved; and a pneumatic element 2 drives a thumb connecting rod mechanism, so that bending and straightening of the thumb mechanism are achieved. The rehabilitation type exoskeleton glove robot is designed to help a user to complete a grabbing action in order to help the user to recover the injury of a finger joint better. Through the adoption of a single-degree-of-freedom connecting rod mechanism, the active bending and straightening of the index finger and the thumb can be realized. The overall weight and size of a system are greatly reduced, so that therehabilitation type exoskeleton glove robot is suitable for long-term use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of rehabilitation medical equipment, and in particular relates to a rehabilitation exoskeleton glove robot which can be applied to the field of early rehabilitation technology for patients with hand joint injuries and inflexible fingers. Background technique [0002] Hand bone and joint injuries mainly include metacarpal fractures and phalanx fractures. If it cannot be treated in time, it will lead to loss of living ability and working ability to varying degrees. In fact, given such patients timely rehabilitation treatment, patients can basically restore the motor function of the hand without affecting normal life and work. At present, there is a lack of rehabilitation exoskeleton robots on the market for the rehabilitation of hand joint injuries. Yes, there are also the following major disadvantages: 1. It is expensive and requires complex equipment support, which is not suitable for use and carrying in daily life. ...

If not treated in time, it will lead to different degrees of loss of living ability and working ability

In fact, given such patients timely rehabilitation treatment, patients can basically restore the motor function of the hand without affecting normal life and work. At present, there is a lack of rehabilitation exoskeleton robots on the market for the rehabilitation of hand joint injuries. Yes, there are also the following major disadvantages: 1. It is expensive and requires complex equipment support, which is not suitable for use and carrying in daily life

2. The connection frame of the exoskeleton glove is placed on the top of the fingers and the hand, and the glove is bulky, which will increase the fatigue of the user during long-term operation

3. Replacing rigid materials with flexible materials, although reducing weight, cannot provide natural flexion and extension profiles for human fingers, and can only achieve the basic operations of fully opening or clenching a fist
