In this paper a novel electrically actuated parallel robot with three degrees-of-freedom (3 DOF) for dynamic postural studies is presented. The design has been described, the solution to the inverse kinematics has been found, and a numerical solution for the direct kinematics has been proposed. The workspace of the implemented robot is characterized by an angular range of motion of about ±10° for...
The objective of this work is first to present a study and analysis of fundamental issues that constitute the development of a hand rehabilitation system by making use of mechanisms for objective and quantitative assessment for patients with motor weakness, such as spinal cord injury (SCI) and post-stroke. The proposed rehabilitation system aims to improve the functional ability of impaired hand on...
This paper describes a structural design technique for rehabilitation robot intended for upper-limb post-stroke therapy. First, a novel approach to a rehabilitation robot is proposed and the features of the robot are explained. Second, the direct kinematics and the inverse kinematics of the proposed robot structure are derived. Finally, a mechanical design procedure is explained that achieves a compromise...
Continuous passive motion (CPM) is a surgical treatment or physiotherapy after operations for disorders. In the rehabilitation with the CPM device for the upper limb, because the musculoskeletal structure of the upper limb is not clarified, the relationships between the upper limb joint and CPM are not analyzed. Especially, the joint angle information by accompanying pronosupination of the forearm...
