MileBot Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot is a kind of wearable robot that consists of a backpack control box, waist parts, exoskeleton parts, touch screen and power adapter. It helps patients to train and rehabilitate themselves under preset programs when they have lower limb locomotor dysfunction that caused by stroke,spinal cord injury and other diseases. Our products are equipped with compliant actuators which can provide a safe and comfortable experience when patients are doing their rehabilitative training. We have both active rehabilitation robot and passive rehabilitation robot for patients in different situation or rehabilitative stage.
Rehabilitation robotics leverages cutting-edge technology to deliver highly precise and consistent therapy. Unlike traditional methods, robotic systems can be programmed to perform repetitive tasks with exact accuracy, ensuring that patients receive the optimal amount of exercise and movement. This precision helps in targeting specific muscle groups and joints, leading to more effective and faster recovery.
One of the significant advantages of rehabilitation robotics is the ability to customize treatment plans for individual patients. These systems can adapt to the patient's progress in real-time, adjusting the intensity and type of exercises based on their performance and recovery rate. This personalized approach not only enhances the effectiveness of the therapy but also keeps patients motivated and engaged in their recovery process.
Rehabilitation robots are equipped with sensors and software that collect detailed data on a patient's movements and progress. This data can be analyzed to provide insights into the patient's recovery, allowing therapists to make informed decisions about treatment adjustments. The ability to track progress quantitatively helps in setting realistic goals and measuring improvements, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients.
I. Mechanical structure
The lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is usually made of materials such as metal or high-strength plastic and has a structure similar to the human lower limb. It includes joint parts such as the hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint, as well as connecting rods and support structures connecting these joints. The design of these mechanical components aims to provide stable support and motion guidance for patients.
II. Main Sensor system
1. Force sensor: Installed at joints and support parts to detect the force and torque applied by the patient on the robot. Through the force sensor, the robot can sense the patient's movement intention and force magnitude, and thus adjust its own movement mode.
2. Position sensor: Used to monitor the angle and position of joints. The position sensor can provide real-time feedback on the movement state of the patient's lower limb and help the robot precisely control the movement trajectory.
III. Control system
1. Signal processing: The control system receives signals from sensors and processes and analyzes these signals. Through algorithms, the control system can identify the patient's movement intention and needs and generate corresponding control commands.
2.Actuator drive: According to the control command, the control system drives the actuator to do the joint movement. The output torque and speed of the motor can be adjusted according to the patient's condition to provide appropriate auxiliary force.
3. Feedback adjustment: The control system continuously receives feedback information from sensors and adjusts the output of the motor in real time to ensure that the movement of the robot matches the patient's movement intention.
IV. General Rehabilitation mode
1.Passive mode: In this mode, the robot completely controls the patient's lower limb movement and helps the patient perform passive joint activities and muscle stretching. The passive mode is suitable for the early rehabilitation stage of patients when the patient's muscle strength is weak or unable to move independently.
2.Active mode: In the active mode, the patient completely controls the movement of the lower limb independently, and the robot only provides necessary support and stability. The active mode is suitable for the later stage of patient rehabilitation when the patient's movement ability is strong.
These robots use sensors, actuators, and software to provide precise, repetitive movements that help patients perform exercises. They can be programmed to adapt to the patient’s progress, offering personalized therapy.
They provide consistent, precise, and repetitive movements that enhance muscle strength, coordination, and neural reorganization, leading to faster and more effective recovery.
Currently MileBot rehabilitation robots are designed to be used in hospitals or rehabilitaion centers, they are needed to be operated by professionas with medical background.
