Parallel Robot for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Exercises

Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of a 6-DoF parallel robot to perform various rehabilitation exercises. The foot trajectories of twenty healthy participants have been measured by a Vicon system during the performing of four different exercises. Based on the kinematics and dynamics of a parallel robot, a MATLAB program was developed in order to calculate the length of the actuators, the actuators' forces, workspace, and singularity locus of the robot during the performing of the exercises.… Show more

“…He is able to obtain information on the angular changes of the joints of the limbs, and the collected motion data information can be communicated with the computer in real time. (11) α(t) is the rotational acceleration at any time, ω(t) is the rotational speed at any time. (12) θ(t) is the Euler angle at any time.…”

“…2. Existen muchos diseños de robots paralelos desarrollados para la rehabilitación del miembro inferior del ser humano, por ejemplo, existe el modelo de tipología 3-PRE de 3 grados de libertad [5], también se encuentra un modelo 6-UPU de 6 grados de libertad, que presenta la forma de un antiprisma triangular [6].…”

“…En los últimos años los robots paralelos empezaron a ser empleados en el campo de la medicina, donde se han desarrollado varios proyectos en el área de la rehabilitación del miembro inferior [5], [6] los cuales emplean robots paralelos de 3 y 6 grados de libertad respectivamente, que recrean rutinas de movimientos para este proceso de rehabilitación. El desarrollo de estos modelos ha llegado hasta la construcción de prototipos y la realización de pruebas, las cuales según sus autores mostraron resultados positivos.…”

“…Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich developed the Lokomat LLRR, 6 in which the wearing device with 4 rotational DoFs is used to drive the legs of the trainers to achieve gait movement, but the whole mechanism was complex and expensive. The University of Birmingham developed a 6-DoF parallel robot to perform various rehabilitation exercises, 7,8 which can simulate different foot trajectories. The research of this aspect in China also made some progress: Harbin Engineering University developed the equipment using a parallel mechanism control pedal to achieve the stepping, 9 which can meet the different needs of various movements of the lower extremity, but the mechanism is large.…”
