Research Progress of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robots in Mainland China

The number of people with lower limb disabilities caused by stroke, traffic accidents and work-related injuries is increasing sharply every year in mainland China, and the corresponding number of rehabilitation therapists is obviously insufficient. To solve this problem, domestic large hospitals have introduced advanced lower limb rehabilitation robots from abroad. However, such robots are expensive and the number of them cannot meet the needs of patients. As a result, many universities and colleges in mainland China have launched research on this issue. This paper collects and collates the research literature, gives the mature and typical structure and control system design scheme in mainland China, and lists some representative research results. Finally, the rehabilitation effect of these lower limb rehabilitation robots is evaluated.
