Development of a rehabilitative training robot for both wrists

Abstract

The authors developed a rehabilitative training robot which detects and analyzes the intention when a person tries to move a wrist with a biological signal, such as muscle action potential, and makes a wrist movement as one's intention. It consists of a grip for wrists, an actuator, a biological signal primary means, biological signal processing part, and a training controller. II. SYSTEM A. System ArchitectureA configuration diagram is shown in Fig. 2. The rehabilitative training robot consists of the following parts;Due to its small, compact size, training can be performed in a small space at a hospital or home.

Development of Practical Wrist Rehabilitation Robot by Mirror Effect

“…In addition to that, the authors have developed the training robot that has a function to detect the myoelectric potential by myoelectric sensors on patient's muscle, and analyze the patient's intention to flex their wrist shown in Fig.2, Fig3 and Fig4. The training robot can provoke training through the function, so that patients can undergo effective training shown in Fig.5 [15][16][17]. The rehabilitative training robot consists of grip, actuator, biological signal detector, biological signal processor, training controller and both-wrist system.…”
