A New Method of Quantitative Rehabilitation Rating in Robot-Assisted Recovery System

Abstract

Compared with traditional therapy means, it has many highlighted advantages to replace the physician with rehabilitation robot in limbs recovery. The paper sets up a wearable and intelligent lower limp robot-assisted rehabilitation system. And after a brief introduction to the whole system and robot ontology that is a mechanical structure of series and parallel hybrid drive, the paper performed in-depth study on the rehabilitation rating system. However, unlike the traditional empirical evaluation method relying on therapists' experience, the paper proposes a quantitative evaluation method, which is realized by introducing two new concepts, that is "Joint Movement Health Belt" and "Health Evaluation Index (HAI)". Finally, conduct the clinical trials for a patient and experimental results show that the system is effective.
