Chair Professor of Intelligent Robotics and Automation, Department of Mechanical Engineering
Project description:
The Intelligent Ankle Rehabilitation Robot addresses the limitations of traditional rehabilitation devices, which often lack precision, adaptability and suitability for home use.
The robot uses a generalised parallel mechanism to offer improved compactness, rigidity and precision, making it well suited for home rehabilitation. It integrates three-axis motion rehabilitation with electromyographic feedback technology, enabling personalised training and increased adaptability to patient needs.
By reducing device size and improving portability, the system increases accessibility for home rehabilitation, enhances efficiency of training and eases the workload of rehabilitation professionals. It offers a more efficient, precise and user-centred approach to ankle rehabilitation, providing significant advantages over existing solutions.
