Abstract :
In order to improve the effect of robotic rehabilitation therapy, we need to find out which elements of robot training influence it. Our aim is to analyze the relation between the patients´ active force and the effect. This paper reviews a clinical therapy involving 6 hemiplegia patients with the upper extremity compound movements rehabilitation training robot developed by Tsinghua University, Beijing. By processing the collected data, we get the evidence that the elevated scores after training and the patients´ active force are high correlated. The larger the patient´s active force, the better the training effect
