Rigidity-flexibility coupled extensible joint type soft exoskeleton glove and finger rehabilitation training method of rigidity-flexibility coupled extensible joint type soft exoskeleton glove

Abstract

The present invention provides a rigidity-flexibility coupled extensible joint type soft exoskeleton glove and a finger rehabilitation training method of the rigidity-flexibility coupled extensible joint type soft exoskeleton glove. The glove comprises a glove body, the glove body comprises a hand back area, a hand center area and a finger area, at least one of a forefinger joint rehabilitation soft exoskeleton, a middle finger joint rehabilitation soft exoskeleton, a ring finger joint rehabilitation soft exoskeleton, a little finger joint rehabilitation soft exoskeleton and a thumb joint rehabilitation soft exoskeleton is arranged in the finger area, a soft exoskeleton glove base seat is arranged in the hand center area and fixed on a hand palm, an inflation control module is arranged inthe hand back area, the five finger joint rehabilitation soft exoskeletons are separately fixed on the soft exoskeleton glove base seat through a pressing plate, and the five finger joint rehabilitation soft exoskeletons separately communicate with the inflation control module through an inflation pipe. The rigidity-flexibility coupled extensible soft exoskeleton glove is high in position rigidity, large in bearing capacity and large in effective driving range, and can also drive a single finger to move.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical rehabilitation machinery, and in particular relates to a rigid-flexible coupling extensible joint-type soft exoskeleton glove and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, there are many patients with limb paralysis clinically, who need specific functional training to promote the reorganization and compensation of the central nervous system, so as to achieve the purpose of restoring the motor function of the patient's limbs. The hand is the place where the nerves are most densely distributed in the human body. Rehabilitation exercises in the hand can effectively stimulate the nerves of the entire upper limb and promote the rehabilitation of the upper limb. [0003] When traditional rehabilitation robots are used for rehabilitation exercises, the patient's limbs may be forced to move according to the predetermined trajectory, which brings the risk of secondary injury. Soft rehabilitation r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. In order to ensure the convenience of wearing, the gloves do not include the knuckles at the end of the fingers, and lack of exercise training at the end of the fingers;

[0006] 2. The relative size of hands and gloves has a great influence on the rehabilitation effect, and the versatility is not strong;

[0007] 3. The range of joint motion that gloves can achieve is limited, and it is difficult to reach the range of rotation angles of human joints;

[0008] 4. Unable to control a single finger for movement
