Abstract

A hand rehabilitation robot (Medical training system) can be used for hemiplegia patients to recover hand joints’ movement and assist in bending or stretching of each finger. Through the control system, it realizes a variety of movement forms to help single or multiple fingers for rehabilitation treatment. This essay is divided into three main sections. The first section describes the pathology of hemiplegia, as well as the process of rehabilitation in Rehabilitation Medicine and the Hand Rehabilitation Robot that can be used to assist physicians in the rehabilitation process. In the second section, it experimentally ascertains the trajectory of hand movements, along with identifying the maximum and minimum achievable angles for each joint of the hand. In the third section, it shows the design process of the Hand Rehabilitation Robot. During this phase, particular attention is given to the design of the connection rod, aligning it with experimentally derived maximum and minimum measurements. This approach aims to optimize the rehabilitation effect. Simultaneously, the development of the electronic control system is undertaken, facilitating precise and accurate control over the robot's functionalities. Finally, through the experimental study, it verifies the feasibility and reliability and can basically meet the hemiplegic patient’s clinical rehabilitation needs.
