The invention relates to the technical field of
rehabilitation robots, in particular to a rigid-flexible
coupling trunk rehabilitation robot and a control method thereof. The invention comprises: a flexible wearing garment; the upper-layer protector is mounted at the upper part of the flexible wearing clothes; the lower-layer protector is mounted at the lower part of the flexible wearing clothes; two
lumbar vertebra branch mechanisms; the URS
branch chain mechanism is used for adjusting the
rehabilitation center to be consistent with the
lumbar vertebra rotation center of the
human body; the thoracic
vertebra branch mechanism is arranged on the inner wall of the upper-layer protector; during wearing, the upper-layer protector is worn at the thoracic vertebra position of a
human body, and the lower-layer protector corresponds to the hip joint of the
human body. The thoracic vertebra branch mechanism is arranged on the upper-layer protector, the
lumbar vertebra branch mechanism is arranged between the upper-layer protector and the lower-layer protector, and the thoracic vertebra branch mechanism and the lumbar vertebra branch mechanism act on the thoracic vertebra and the lumbar vertebra in a synergistic mode, so that partitioned targeted rehabilitation is achieved, namely independent stretching, forward flexion, backward stretching and lateral flexion
rehabilitation training of the thoracic vertebra is achieved; therefore, the rehabilitation action of the human
trunk is more targeted, the rehabilitation effect is good, and the applicability and the rehabilitation efficiency in the rehabilitation process are greatly improved.
