Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The gait rehabilitation robot having a passive mechanism includes: a first auxiliary link member connected to a portion between the pelvis and the knee of a rehabilitating person; a joint coupled to a lower end of the first auxiliary link member; a second auxiliary link member coupled to the lower end of the joint and connected to a portion between the pelvis and the knee of the rehabilitating person; a first spring coupled to an upper end of the first auxiliary link member to prevent introversion and extroversion of a hip point from occurring when the rehabilitating person is walking; a foot support which comes into contact with the foot of the rehabilitating person; an ankle joint for connecting the foot support and the second auxiliary link member; and a second spring coupled to a side of the foot support to compensate an entropion angle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A gait rehabilitation robot, comprising: a first auxiliary link member configured to be connected to a portion between a pelvis and a knee of a subject; a joint coupled to a lower end of the first auxiliary link member; a second auxiliary link member coupled to a lower end of the joint and configured to connect to a portion between the knee and a foot of the subject; a first spring coupled to an upper end of the first auxiliary link member; a foot support configured to contact the foot of the subject; an ankle joint connecting the foot support and the second auxiliary link member; and a second spring coupled to a side of the foot support, wherein a first end of the first spring is fixed to a first fixing member, a second end of the first spring is coupled to a first rotating member, and an elastic deformation occurs according to a pivotal movement of the first rotating member, and wherein a first end of the second spring is fixed to a second fixing member, a second end of the second spring is coupled to a second rotating member, and an elastic deformation occurs according to a pivotal movement of the second rotating member. 2. The gait rehabilitation robot according to claim 1 , wherein the first spring is a leaf spring. 3. The gait rehabilitation robot according to claim 1 , wherein the second spring is a leaf spring.
