    Abstract

    The number of hemiplegic patients increase rapidly as the emerging elderly society. Since the motor nerve can be reconnected along the motion exercise, the method to assist hemiplegic survivor rehabilitation through physical training is valuable. Compared to manual operation by physical therapist (PT), robotic assistance benefits both PT and patients on precise training, low workload and quantitative exercise. This paper presents the mechanism design of a novel multi-functional rehabilitation robot. Distinguish with the existing rehabilitation robot, the design concept of the multi-functional assistant robot is to mimic the manual techniques, which hold patient pelvic for gait rehabilitation. In this paper, the detail design of the mechanism is introduced, and the working space of the robot arm based on the actual mechanism is also calculated. Finally, we present the future research direction of Multi-functional rehabilitation assistant robot.
