ABSTRACT: The number of people with lower limb disabilities
caused by stroke, traffic accidents and work-related injuries is increasing
sharply every year in mainland China, and the
corresponding number of rehabilitation therapists is obviously insufficient. To
solve this problem, domestic large hospitals have introduced advanced lower
limb rehabilitation robots from abroad. However, such robots are expensive and
the number of them cannot meet the needs of patients. As a result, many
universities and colleges in mainland China have launched research on this
issue. This paper collects and collates the research literature, gives the
mature and typical structure and control system design scheme in mainland
China, and lists some representative research results. Finally, the rehabilitation effect of these lower limb
rehabilitation robots is evaluated.
