Abstract
AbstractWithin the field of rehabilitation for people with hemiplegia, this paper presents a novel training system for hand function rehabilitation. This training system mainly includes a hand rehabilitation exoskeleton, tactile feedback devices and a virtual reality scene. Tactile feedback devices are designed as electric stimulation slip feedback actuator and pneumatic contact force feedback actuator respectively. The virtual reality scene is a human-computer interaction interface built by Unity 3D. Three rehabilitation training modes including a contact force enhanced rehabilitation mode, a mirror therapy mode and an active rehabilitation mode are proposed to provide different feedback stimulation for patients at different rehabilitation stages to obtain better rehabilitation training effect. Verification experiments were conducted to preliminarily show the feasibility of those modes.KeywordsHand function rehabilitationVirtual realityTactile feedbackMirror therapy
