A Two Degree – of – Freedom Robotic Exerciser for Rehabilitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current therapy exercisers having one degree-of-freedom for rehabilitating single muscle groups are limited; an efficient functional rehabilitation process requires multiple muscles group’s actions within complex movements of the limbs. In this paper an exerciser for active and passive movement of upper limb is proposed. Its structure is based on a five-bar mechanism actuated by two motors. This mechanism guides the patient’s upper limb through a series of desired exercises. The dimensional synthesis of the five-bar mechanism is based on its workspace and anthropomorphic data of the patients. Some exercises aiming the recovery of motor and cognitive skills are described and discussed. The user interfaces are given too.
