Abstract

To help patients with upper-limb dysfunction in rehabilitation training, a parallel cable-driven upper-limb rehabilitation robot was proposed. The robot has advantages in modular design, simple mechanism, low cost, lightweight and good human-machine compatibility. The robot can help patients with upper-limb dysfunction to carry out various forms of rehabilitation training. Trajectory planning, kinematics analysis, workspace verification and human-machine experimental research were also carried out for shoulder joint flexion/extension. The results show that the parallel flexible cable-driven upper-limb rehabilitation robot in this paper has certain significance for patients to carry out rehabilitation training.
