Evaluation of proprioceptive sense of the elbow joint with RehabRoby

摘要

In recent years, robot-assisted rehabilitation systems have been an active research area that can quantitatively monitor and adapt to patient progress, and ensure consistency during rehabilitation. In this work, an exoskeleton type robot-assisted rehabilitation system called RehabRoby is developed. A control architecture, which contains a high level controller and a low level controller, is designed for RehabRoby. Proprioceptive sense of healthy subjects has been evaluated during the execution of a task with RehabRoby. Additionally, usability of RehabRoby has been evaluated using a questionnaire.
