[0097] The method for using the static lower limb rehabilitation assistive device testing system of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0098] In order to objectively evaluate the auxiliary effect of rehabilitation assistive devices, the mean error u and the root mean square error E are defined RMS :

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] Where n represents the number of sampling points of the encoder and / or sensor on the rehabilitation aid, M i 、N i They are respectively the expected sampling value before sampling of the rehabilitation assistive device and the actual value obtained during sampling of the rehabilitation assistive device. The sampling is to obtain the angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and / or torque of the rehabilitation assistive device. The mean error u of the angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and torque is positively correlated, and the root mean square error E of the angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and torque is positively correlated. RMS Also positively correlated, the mean error u and the root mean square error E RMS The larger the value of is, the worse the auxiliary effect of the rehabilitation assistive device is. On the contrary, the mean error u and the root mean square error E RMS The smaller the value, the better the auxiliary effect of the rehabilitation assistive device (when judging the auxiliary effect of the rehabilitation assistive device, one or more of the angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and torque can be judged. Since the mean error u and the root mean square error E of the angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and torque are RMS There is a positive correlation, therefore, the results of judging one or more of the angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and torque are almost the same).

[0102] The patient wears a rehabilitation aid and samples the rehabilitation aid according to method one and method two. The rehabilitation aid is an exoskeleton joint module at the hip joint. The expected and actual sampling values ​​obtained by method one are as follows: Fig.10b As shown in the figure, the expected and actual sampling values ​​obtained by method 2 are as follows Fig.10a As shown, by calculating the mean error u and the root mean square error E RMS To evaluate the auxiliary effect of rehabilitation assistive devices.

[0103] The present invention is described above by way of example. It should be noted that, without departing from the core of the present invention, any simple deformation, modification or other equivalent replacement that can be made by those skilled in the art without inventive effort falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
