Summary

A robot arm for upper limb rehabilitation is intended to achieve rehabilitation effects through the study of robot control theory and the integration of sensors such as sEMG. The goal is to reduce the workload of rehabilitation therapists.

Detailed description

NTUH-ii is an upper limb rehabilitation robot. The aim of this robot is to reduce the workload of rehabilitation therapists and make the rehabilitation process more effective. The robot can complete rehabilitation tasks, such as elbow flexion/extension, shoulder flexion/extension, and shoulder horizontal abduction/adduction, etc. By giving the desired trajectory, the robot can lead patients to do the tasks in passive mode or active mode. However, curative rehabilitation should include the motion intention of patients. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of rehabilitation effect by combining the sensors (such as sEMG, IMU) to obtain the motion intention of patients and give the assistive movement.
