Abstract

The mechanical and electrical system of upper limb rehabilitation is a kind of medical equipment which relies on the aid of machine to help stroke patients to carry out upper limb activity training. Many stroke patients can not move independently, which greatly limits their lives. In this paper, we have learned the etiology and symptoms of stroke patients, scientifically formulated their training methods and movements, and fully considered the safety and practicability of the equipment, and used relatively light materials as far as possible. For stroke patients to provide a safe, comfortable, effective upper limb wearable exoskeleton machine, can be anytime and anywhere rehabilitation training, simple appearance, low cost, suitable for stroke patients to use, to help them recover. Realize the independence of movement.
