The Review of Research on Wearable Hand Rehabilitation Robots

Abstract

Diseases such as stroke can cause very serious impairment to the function of the patient's hands, which seriously affects their ability to carry out normally activities in daily life. In view of the disadvantages of traditional hand rehabilitation training methods, such as low efficiency, The lacking of precise control and boring training process, the research of hand rehabilitation robots has gradually received widespread attention. This paper classifies hand rehabilitation robots according to three criteria: drive mode, power source and control method, analyses the advantages and shortcomings of various hand rehabilitation devices that have emerged in recent years, and provides an outlook on their future development direction.
