Abstract

Today, the technological development of rehabilitation robots increases very quickly and provides a positive impact to healthcare. The development of the tele-rehabilitation techniques offers more efficiency and high performances for physiotherapy and rehabilitation. In this paper, design and development of a 2DOF wrist rehabilitation robot are proposed. The conceived robot ensures the two sets of wrist movement: flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation. Distinguished by its compact mechanism design, the developed wrist rehabilitation robot offers high stiffness with a total absence of any friction and backlash. Using web-based control, this robot can be tele-operated by the therapist and used in clinical or at-home cases. Parameters and results of each exercise can be stored and operated later in analysis and evolution of patient progress.
