Abstract :
In order to estimate the effect of neural rehabilitation robot for improving the upper extremity motor function, 23 hemiplegia patients who are BrunnstromTII at least receive clinical rehabilitation training by the upper extremity compound movements rehabilitation training robot. The assistance models of the neural rehabilitation robot and the programming of the clinical rehabilitation training are studied in this dissertation. The clinical assessment results make clear that after a period of rehabilitation treatment, the function of most patients, which could be assessed by Fugl-Meyer method, improved to a certain extent, and the rehabilitation effect is better than the traditional rehabilitation training. The outcome indicates that, the upper extremity compound movements rehabilitation training robot has a significant application prospect in clinical rehabilitation.
