Characteristics evaluation of a rehabilitation robot for upper limbs

摘要

The development of robot technology provides a good opportunity for the development of robots in rehabilitation. As a result, robot for upper limbs has become more and more popular. Rehabilitation robot can use the related technologies to monitor and evaluate the rehabilitation process or the training condition, improve the training pertinence and science. Moreover, it can free physicians from heavy and repetitive work. Then make the efficiency of the rehabilitation better. In this paper, we developed a new exoskeleton rehabilitation robot system for upper limbs, which can achieve 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) movements including elbows and wrist. And a new system with multi-sensors has been created to control our device. We use this control system to implement the motion and information collection.
