Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rehabilitation medical device technology, specifically to a multi-limb hand robot system. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of population aging, the incidence and prevalence of stroke in my country are on the rise. 80% of stroke patients experience varying degrees of limb dysfunction, and over 60% continue to suffer from severe upper limb, especially hand, motor dysfunction even after entering the chronic phase. Reconstruction of hand motor function is crucial for patients to regain their ability to live independently. Traditional rehabilitation therapies require long-term training by clinicians, but the shortage of clinicians and high rehabilitation costs cause many patients to miss the golden period for efficient brain remodeling. Furthermore, clinicians cannot assist unrehabilitated patients in performing daily grasping tasks in unstructured environments outside of hospitals. In recent years, hand robots have been introduced into the field of medical device technology to assist patients in rehabilitation training and in performing daily grasping tasks.
[0003] Hand exoskeletons and exolimb fingers are two main types of hand medical devices. Hand exoskeletons are currently the most common rehabilitation equipment for hand motor function after stroke, providing rehabilitation treatments such as soft tissue traction and joint range of motion training. However, their use can have negative effects such as compressive forces on soft tissues and joints, affecting both wearing comfort and user safety, especially when assisting stroke patients in the spastic phase with greater muscle tone to forcefully grasp objects, inevitably causing pain and even soft tissue damage to joints. Exolimb fingers are a new type of hand motor function enhancement device for stroke patients, enhancing the patient's grasping ability by adding wearable mechanical fingers. Exolimb fingers can reduce the natural finger strength required to complete daily grasping tasks, but they cannot provide rehabilitation training for natural fingers or reconstruct lost hand motor function.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of multi-limb hand robot system that organically integrates the hand exoskeleton and the fingers of the exolimb, and at the same time realizes the rehabilitation, reconstruction and enhancement of hand motor function. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:
[0021] The multi-limb hand robot system of this invention can simultaneously meet the needs of both rehabilitation training and assisting in daily grasping tasks. During rehabilitation training, the exoskeleton component provides soft tissue traction and joint range of motion training, thus playing a role in hand motor function rehabilitation. When assisting in daily grasping tasks, the exoskeleton component works in conjunction with the exolimb finger component; in this case, the exoskeleton component reconstructs hand motor function, while the exolimb finger component enhances motor function.
[0022] Compared to traditional hand exoskeletons, the multi-limb hand robot system of this invention assists patients in completing the same grasping tasks in daily life. Because of the addition of exoskeleton finger components, the assistance required from the exoskeleton is reduced, thereby reducing the compressive force of the exoskeleton on the fingers, reducing pain and discomfort to the patient, and lowering the probability of secondary injury.
[0023] Compared to conventional exolimb fingers, the multi-limb hand robot system of this invention assists patients in completing the same grasping tasks in daily life. Due to the addition of the hand exoskeleton component, it can not only enhance hand motor function using the exolimb finger component, but also reconstruct lost motor function using the exoskeleton component.
[0024] The multi-limb hand robot system of the present invention has an exophoric finger component with a quick-plug interface. When the exoskeleton component provides rehabilitation treatment such as soft tissue traction and joint range of motion training, the exophoric finger component can be quickly pulled out, reducing the system weight and minimizing interference between the exophoric finger component and the hand exoskeleton component.
