The Design and Realization of a Gait Rehabilitation Training Robot with Body Supporting Mechanism

Abstract

With the increasing number of people who have problems with their walking, a new type of gait rehabilitation training robot has been put forward and designed. In order to meet the requirements of the gait rehabilitation training, the whole mechanical structure and control system have been designed, and the model machine for gait rehabilitation training robot has been made. Using the human gait analysis system of the INSENCO, a large number of experiments on human bodies have been carried out, and human gait parameters have been measured and recorded. As has been shown in the experiments, the designed robot has achieved the goal of free movement and weight-reducing; the weight-reducing device is flexible in height and pull, which has accomplished the aim of rehabilitation training.
