“…This is an essential feature for gait rehabilitation machines. A group at Rutgers University [34] recently built a small walking simulator testbed with permanent foot attachment based on two small Stuart platforms. Those motion platforms, which are also called hexapod platforms, are based on a parallel kinematics principle and often used for flight simulators.…”

Background: Gait restoration is an integral part of rehabilitation of brain lesioned patients. Modern concepts favour a task-specific repetitive approach, i.e. who wants to regain walking has to walk, while tone-inhibiting and gait preparatory manoeuvres had dominated therapy before. Following the first mobilization out of the bed, the wheelchair-bound patient should have the possibility to practise complex gait cycles as soon as possible. Steps in this direction were treadmill training with partial body weight support and most recently gait machines enabling the repetitive training of even surface gait and even of stair climbing.

“…In particular, robot-mediated neurorehabilitation is developing rapidly as an advancing and nascent field which involves robotics, virtual realities, haptic interfaces, theories in neuroscience and rehabilitation. In 1995, there is a rehabilitation system named MIT-MANUS developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge (Boian et al, 2004;Hogan et al, 1995;Krebs et al, 2000). The device assisted planar pointing and drawing movements with an impedance controller.…”

This paper presents a novel upper extremity motor function rehabilitation system and an assessment system. The rehabilitation system is an active rehabilitation that can be manipulated by patients through a haptic device and an inertia sensor to perform a tracking task in virtual environment with coordination training of bilateral upper extremity. The design of system aims to augment patients' force exerted by theirs' upper extremity and the ability of force control, namely, dexterity. The structure of rehabilitation system is compact and the inertia of the haptic device's stylus is very small (only 45 g), which makes the system suitable for home-rehabilitation. Simultaneously, in order to assess the effect of rehabilitation, an assessment system has been developed using a 6-axis force sensor. The proposed rehabilitation system is testified experimentally for the upper limbs' rehabilitation training.

“…The four DOFs formed by the combination of two parallel mechanisms are driven by air cylinders to implement ankle flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, internal/external rotation, and forefoot rotation. Another dual Stewart platform for bipedal rehabilitation training developed by Rutgers University has 12 DOFs that are driven by air cylinders on the basis of pneumatic servo control [7]. Therapists can remotely mentor training through the realtime reproduction of virtual movements of the network.…”

Abstract. Muscular rigidity and atrophy caused by long-term underactivity usually lead to foot drop, strephenopodia, foot extorsion or some other complications for the lower limb movement disorders or lower limb surgery sufferers. The ankle-foot orthosis can help patients conduct the right ankle motion mode training, inhibit spasm and prevent ankle complications. In this paper, a quasi-passive 3 DOFs ankle-foot wearable orthosis was designed on the basis of kinematics and dynamics analysis of the ankle joint. Ankle joint trajectory and dynamic characteristics similar to those of natural gait can be obtained by the combination of passive energy storage and additional power complement. In terms of function, the orthosis has shock absorption and low energy consumption. Given its excellent characteristics of comfortableness, lightweight, and anthropomorphic construction, the orthosis can be used in medical institutions for rehabilitation training or as a daily-walking auxiliary equipment for surgery sufferers.
