Development of human lower limbs exoskeleton robot for medical rehabilitation

Abstract

The article deals with the solution of the problem of optimizing the characteristics of controlled motion of human lower limb exoskeleton robot for improving medical rehabilitation. The aim of the work is to develop a rehabilitation device capable of providing controlled motion in two planes, as well as maintaining balance without loss of mobility. The design and control system of a rehabilitation trainer designed for performing mechanotherapy of the lower limbs of patients with locomotive disorders are proposed and characterized. The developed system has a number of significant differences from analogues and can be recommended for experimental research on patients with impaired locomotive functions.
