“…The hand rotation mechanism of the iRest was for forearm pronation and supination movements. The design concept for hand rotation mechanism was based on Haptic Knob [6] and ReachMAN [35] robots. The grasping mechanism is directly attached to the digital rotary encoder (Encoder 2) to allow rotation of forearm in both directions (pronation and supination) for 360° while subject's hand was holding the handle.…”

“…Fortunately, rehabilitation can help stroke patients to regain their functional movement. However, conventional rehabilitations with physiotherapists are labor intensive [5], expensive and lack of objective assessment as well as quantitative diagnosis and evaluation [5]. This led to the shortage of physiotherapists due to large number of patients.…”

“…This led to the shortage of physiotherapists due to large number of patients. Besides, stroke patients will be discharged once they are mobile, even though their upper limbs are not recovered [5], thus stroke patients are still unable to live independently after rehabilitation in hospital. In addition, assessment of progress is highly subjective depending on manual observation [6].…”

“…There are several well-known advanced rehabilitation robots available in the market [7,8], which are able to improve the rehabilitation training. However, these existing robots are generally complicated with many degree-of-freedoms (DOFs) that make the system to be complex and expensive [5]. Most of the rehabilitation centres and hospitals could not afford the high cost rehabilitation robots due to limited funding and space.…”

Stroke is the leading cause of severe disability worldwide, with up to 15 million of people suffer stroke every year. Survivors of stroke can recover their physical strength, provided they undergo proper rehabilitation. However, most of the rehabilitation centres provide only basic tools as they can rarely afford the expensive and advanced rehabilitation devices. Besides that, training with therapists is limited to few hours per week due to the large number of patients and the stroke patients are generally sent home once they are mobile, although their upper limbs functions are not recovered. Stroke patients need to continue training after stroke to avoid muscle contraction, but due to large number of patients, they are not able to train frequently in the hospital. Therefore, the goal of this project is to develop a low-cost, simple yet compact rehabilitation robot for stroke patient to train both upper and lower limbs reaching movement. Compact Rehabilitation Robot (CR2) is expected to help the stroke patients training reaching movement in an enhanced virtual reality environment with haptic feedback and to provide the stroke patients with a faster track towards recovery.
