Abstract :
In order to solve the clinical application problems of existing rehabilitation robots, this paper made a local and global analysis and put forward a new design for the lower limb rehabilitation robot based on the technology of Body Weight Support Treadmill Training(BWSTT). Contrast to others, the robot has features of flexible structure, simple operation, strong practicality and low price. Methods of modular design and intensive design which usually used in Industrial Design were used in this paper, they can solve many clinical difficulties. Through preliminary clinical experiments, the design can solve and improve some problems, but it also need in-depth study and analyze.
