Abstract

In response to the rehabilitation needs of stroke patients who are unable to benefit from conventional rehabilitation due to the COVID-19 epidemic, this paper designs a robot that combines on-site and telerehabilitation. The objective is to assist the patient in walking. We design the electromechanical system with a gantry mechanism, body-weight support system, information feedback system, and man-machine interactive control system. The proposed rehabilitation robot remote system is based on the client/server (C/S) network framework to realize the remote control of the robot state logic and the transmission of patient training data. Based on the proposed system, doctors can set or adjust the training modes and control the parameters of the robot and guide remote patient rehabilitation training through video communication. The robotic system can further store and manage the rehabilitation data of the patient during training. Experiments show the human-computer interaction system of the lower limb rehabilitation robot has good performance, can accurately recognize the information of human motion posture, and achieve the goal of actively the following motion. Experiments confirm the feasibility of the proposed design, the information management of stroke patients, and the efficiency of rehabilitation training. The proposed system can reduce the workload of the doctors in practical training.

Highlights

  • For post-stroke patients, rehabilitation of the hemiplegic part of the brain is the main medical treatment, and early rehabilitation helps to reduce the possibility of future disabilities

  • Traditional rehabilitation training requires the therapist to assist the patients in manual rehabilitation

  • Our objective is to address the issue with the complex structure and fixed use of lower limb rehabilitation robots

Summary

Introduction

For post-stroke patients, rehabilitation of the hemiplegic part of the brain is the main medical treatment, and early rehabilitation helps to reduce the possibility of future disabilities. Traditional rehabilitation training requires the therapist to assist the patients in manual rehabilitation. This rehabilitation method is time-consuming and costly. Recent advances in medical technology have improved the survival rate of stroke patients and expanded the number of hemiplegic patients. The rehabilitation of stroke patients has become essential. Going to a hospital or rehabilitation institution for traditional rehabilitation is not the best choice. The question is what should patients do at home to recover? Telemedicine is of essential importance in meeting the rehabilitation needs of home-bound patients and improving the quality of medical care The question is what should patients do at home to recover?
