Wearable tremor inhibition mechanical arm

Abstract

The invention provides a wearable tremor inhibition mechanical arm, which is robot equipment used for restraining the arm tremor motion of a Parkinson patient in real time. The wearable tremor inhibition mechanical arm comprises an upper-arm arm lever, an elbow joint mechanism, a forearm arm lever, an elbow joint mechanism and a hand part mechanism, wherein the upper-arm arm lever, the forearm armlever and the hand part mechanism are connected with the arm of the human body through sticking tapes. The wearable tremor inhibition mechanical arm is favorable for solving the problem that the daily activities, including eating, writing and the like, of a pathological tremor patient are inconvenient, and the living quality of a patient is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical robots and exoskeleton robots, and relates to a wearable tremor-suppressing mechanical arm, which has the characteristics of light size, comfortable wearing and high suppression efficiency, and can effectively suppress Parkinson's pathological tremor. Background technique [0002] Parkinson's disease is a common degenerative disease of the nervous system and a typical degeneration of motor ability. As of 2018, the number of Parkinson's disease patients in China has reached more than 3 million, accounting for about 30% of the world. And about 70% of Parkinson's patients have tremor as the first symptom, mostly starting from the distal end of one side of the upper limb, appearing or being obvious at rest, reducing or stopping during voluntary movement, aggravating during mental stress, and disappearing after falling asleep. The resting tremor of the hand was aggravated when walking, which seriously affected ...
