Development of low-end robot system for comprehensive shoulder rehabilitation

Abstract

This video represents low-end robot system for comprehensive shoulder rehabilitation. The hardware features lightweight and low-cost design using only one actuator. By aligning the actuator to user's shoulder in various direction, five single-DOF shoulder motions are possible. 6 control modes are developed, which mimic actual therapies. In addition, rehabilitation games are integrated for motivation and active engagement of users in exercise.
