Rehabilitation of the Lower Limb Motor Skills for Patients Using Cable-Driven Robot

As the technological advancements in felid such as electronic, robotics, and artificial intelligence continue to grow and flourish, the more the traditional methods of doing things starts to get absolute. This phenomenon cannot be more clearly observed in like medicine, technological advancements changed the ways things are done from the way that the doctors preform their surgical operations to the way they prescribe pills and after surgery treatments. The purpose of this work is to develop a low-cost cable-driven manipulator robot to be used in the rehabilitation of human lower limb problems caused by stroke, accidents, and cerebral palsy. The robot offers a lot of advantages, but some of which is that is the robot is easily deployable anywhere where a power source is present and that the therapist does not to be present with the patient in the same room to monitor the sessions. The robot consists of a stationary frame and an end-effector (splint) connected to four and up to eight wires and can conduct individual hip/knee motions. The paper starts with a look at rehabilitation of the lower limb, then moving on to the kinematics, workspace, and hardware structure. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
