Abstract EN
The lower limb rehabilitation robot is an application of robotic technology for stroke people with lower limb disabilities.
A new applicable and effective sitting/lying lower limb rehabilitation robot (LLR-Ro) is proposed, which has the mechanical limit protection, the electrical limit protection, and the software protection to prevent the patient from the secondary damage.
Meanwhile, as a new type of the rehabilitation robots, its hip joint rotation ranges are different in the patient sitting training posture and lying training posture.
The mechanical leg of the robot has a variable workspace to work in both training postures.
So, if the traditional mechanical limit and the electrical limit cannot be used in the hip joint mechanism design, a follow-up limit is first proposed to improve the compatibility of human-machine motion.
Besides, to eliminate the accident interaction force between the patient and LLR-Ro in the process of the passive training, an amendment impedance control strategy based on the position control is proposed to improve the compliance of the LLR-Ro.
A simulation experiment and an experiment with a participant show that the passive training of LLR-Ro has compliance.
