Abstract

A novel ankle rehabilitation robot and its mechanism composition, were proposed. The 3D modeling of the proposed ankle rehabilitation robot and the 3D modeling of the complete human body were established. The integration of the two 3D models was further proceeded by importing the robot models into the AnyBody simulation software. A driving function was also designed on the basis of the sine function; the inverse kinematic analysis and muscle force analysis of the integrated model are carried out. The driving function design was executed to determine the relationships of the movement of the angles for the proposed ankle rehabilitation robot with the activity and passive traction of the muscles. A rehabilitation strategy was also developed according to different motion amplitudes, velocity, and different external environments in dorsal flexion motion. This research would provide a reference for further design of the structure and control of rehabilitation robots.
