Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Safe, quantitative, effect and repetitive new techniques are required in rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation robots can solve these problems to certain degree.
OBJECTIVE: To explore how to enhance and restore musculoskeletal function and to improve coordination capacity by rehabilitation robots, and to analyze the influence of rehabilitation and limitation about the new development, and the challenges.
METHODS: With the key words of “stroke, gait, biofeedback, rehabilitation, treadmill training, rehabilitation robotics” databases of Pubmed and Medline and Chinese Journal Full-text Database was searched for articles published between April 1992 and December 2009. Lower limb gait rehabilitation robot was used as the evaluation index. Articles related to lower limb gait rehabilitation robot were included, and repeat studies were excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Lower limb gait rehabilitation robot completes walking by guide thing and leg coordinate swing. Sole gait rehabilitation robot performs gait training by simulating angle joint movement track, which solves many clinical issues to certain degree. Application of rehabilitation robot for stroke patients shows that robot provides rehabilitation opportunities to improve the quality of life of the disabled.
