Research progress of the appliation of lower limb rehabilitation robot in rehabilitation treatment of orthopedic patients
With the exacerbation of population aging,the number of individuals suffering from lower limb mobility impairments caused by lower limb fractures,osteoarthritis,or other traumas is increasing annu-ally.Traditional rehabilitation methods impose high demands on both patients and therapists.Over the past few decades,significant breakthroughs have been made in the research and application of lower limb rehabilita-tion robots.Lower limb rehabilitation robots,as automated rehabilitation training devices,are primarily based on the principle of motor relearning,enabling patients to engage in repetitive,intensive,and precise task-ori-ented movements to promote lower limb functional recovery.This paper presented the development history of lower limb rehabilitation robots,categorizes them,and reviewed their gait rehabilitation applications in three lower limb segments(hip joint,knee joint,ankle joint).Based on this,the research and development trends of lower limb rehabilitation robots in orthopedics were discussed.
