Robotics in Lower-Limb Rehabilitation after Stroke

Abstract EN

With the increase in the elderly, stroke has become a common disease, often leading to motor dysfunction and even permanent disability.

Lower-limb rehabilitation robots can help patients to carry out reasonable and effective training to improve the motor function of paralyzed extremity.

In this paper, the developments of lower-limb rehabilitation robots in the past decades are reviewed.

Specifically, we provide a classification, a comparison, and a design overview of the driving modes, training paradigm, and control strategy of the lower-limb rehabilitation robots in the reviewed literature.

A brief review on the gait detection technology of lower-limb rehabilitation robots is also presented.

Finally, we discuss the future directions of the lower-limb rehabilitation robots.
