Research of Rehabilitation System with Anklebone Based on Virtual Reality

Abstract

Introducing virtual reality and robotic technology into anklebone rehabilitation engineering. According to kinesitherapy and occupational therapy of the rehabilitation medicine. A rehabilitation system with anklebone is specially designed and developed for patients, which realized the movement control of anklebone and constructed the simulation platform of virtual environment. Patient can perceive the force on anklebone by force feedback of the haptic interface. The rehabilitation assessment method of the anklebone function is proposed and rehabilitation case history database of patients is built up. Rehabilitation system with anklebone can provide an effective means to recover the anklebone function for patients.
