Description

Finger rehabilitation exoskeleton robot with adduction and abduction and flexion and extension functions
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of bio-mechanical engineering, and particularly relates to a finger rehabilitation exoskeleton robot with adduction and abduction and flexion and extension functions.
Background
30% -60% of patients after stroke leave upper limb motor dysfunction, especially hand motor dysfunction. In daily life, the hand has the functions of gesture (second language), grabbing and operation, and bears 27% of the whole function of daily activities; in the motor cortex of the brain, the human hand is one of the largest proportion of the organs in the motor control area. Therefore, under the guidance of a rehabilitation doctor, the hand rehabilitation instrument has great significance for standard treatment of the hands of the stroke patient and recovery of the hand function of the patient. But the number of rehabilitation therapists is not enough to meet the huge demand of the rehabilitation market at all, and the pure expectation of relying on the clinical therapist to assist the patient to carry out rehabilitation exercise training is not in line with the actual demand. In order to solve the problem of serious unbalance between therapists and patients, the hand rehabilitation exoskeleton robot aims to introduce advanced robot technology into rehabilitation engineering to assist patients to recover the normal life forms or functions of the hands of the patients.
The human hand has a complex anatomical structure consisting primarily of articular surfaces, joint capsules, luminal ligaments, inner cartilage, and synovial folds. The four fingers of the human hand (except the thumb) consist of three joints: the joint comprises a metacarpophalangeal joint, a proximal joint and a distal joint, wherein the metacarpophalangeal joint can realize flexion/extension and adduction/abduction motions, the proximal joint and the distal joint can realize flexion-extension motions, and the two joints have coupling motions. Relevant studies have shown that joint independent movement can improve the motor learning ability of the patient's limbs. Some hand rehabilitation devices have been developed, but these devices only consider the flexion/extension movements of the finger joints, neglect the adduction/abduction movements of the metacarpophalangeal joints, and fail to sufficiently assist the natural movements of the fingers. Other hand rehabilitation robots can assist fingers to perform adduction-abduction movement, but because the rotating shafts of the finger joints are uncertain, the rotating shafts of the man-machine joints are easy to be dislocated, and unexpected interaction force between man machines is generated, or the robots generate mechanical stress on the joints in order to apply expected torque to the joints; according to the existing medical research, mechanical stress can cause diseases such as joint deformation or degeneration, so the hand rehabilitation exoskeleton robot should avoid unexpected interaction force between human and machine.
In summary, most of the existing rehabilitation robots can only assist the human hand to perform flexion and extension motions, but neglect adduction and abduction motions, generate mechanical stress on finger joints, and easily cause diseases such as joint degeneration or deformation.

Further, referring to fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 is a motion diagram of a proximal phalanx flexion and extension embodiment of the finger rehabilitation exoskeleton robot with adduction and abduction and flexion and extension of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a motion diagram of a flexion and extension embodiment of the finger rehabilitation exoskeleton robot with adduction and abduction and flexion and extension of the present invention; when the second driving assembly acts on the first transition wheel and the second transition wheel through the second group of steel wire ropes, the buckling and stretching movement of the proximal phalanx can be realized through the first fixing rope wheel and the second fixing rope wheel, and the first driving assembly and the third driving assembly are not started at the moment. In the invention, the flexion-extension movement comprises flexion-extension movement of a middle phalange, flexion-extension movement of a proximal phalange and mutual coupling movement between the two; when the driving moment of the third driving assembly is applied to the revolute pair J6, specifically, when the third driving assembly drives the revolute pair J6 to move clockwise, the revolute pair J4 moves anticlockwise, and when the third driving assembly is started in cooperation with the second driving assembly, the flexion motion of the middle phalanx and the proximal phalanx of the finger can be realized respectively, and meanwhile, the motion pair J5, the revolute pair J3 and the revolute pair J7 generate corresponding motions under the constraint of closed-chain kinematics; the clockwise motion of drive revolute pair J6 can be viewed as two parts: one part generates flexion movement of the middle phalanx, and the other part counteracts the coupling movement generated by the metacarpophalangeal joint transmission component part; in the same way, the two rotation by-products generate opposite directions of movement to enable the fingers to perform stretching movement.
Further, with reference to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic motion diagram of an embodiment of the adduction and abduction of the finger rehabilitation exoskeleton robot with adduction and abduction and flexion extension of the present invention; the first driving assembly drives the revolute pair J2 to move anticlockwise (namely the inner and outer driving rope wheels move anticlockwise), and the inner and outer driving rope wheels sequentially drive the reversing connecting rod and the finger base connecting rod to realize outward extending movement of fingers; under the constraint of closed chain kinematics, a sliding pair J1, a sliding pair J3, a sliding pair J5, a sliding pair J4, a sliding pair J6 and a sliding pair J7 generate corresponding motions; note that to eliminate the coupled extension motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint and the proximal joint caused by this motion, revolute pair J6 is now controlled by the third drive assembly to move clockwise to rotate counter-clockwise revolute pair J4; similarly, the revolute pair J2 can perform the opposite movement to perform the finger adduction movement.
Through the structural design of the invention, the finger joints can be controlled to move independently: adduction-abduction and flexion-extension movements of metacarpophalangeal joints and flexion-extension movements of proximal joints; the series connecting rods and the finger bone joints form a closed chain structure, so that the self-adaptive alignment between the human-computer joints can be realized; the moving pair of the metacarpophalangeal joints is directly connected with the fingers to eliminate the force of the mechanism to the fingers along the finger direction, and the same driving torque is applied to the exoskeleton joints through rope transmission to eliminate the mechanical stress of the fingers in the other two orthogonal directions, so that the mechanical stress of the exoskeleton robot for finger rehabilitation to the finger joints can be avoided; the invention reduces the complexity of the structure under the condition of the same multiple degrees of freedom, and simultaneously approaches the actual condition of rehabilitation training under the condition of improving the precision.
Different from the existing exoskeleton robot for finger rehabilitation, the exoskeleton robot for finger rehabilitation only has two groups of driving components arranged on fingers, namely only the middle phalanx and the near phalanx are provided with the driving components and not arranged on the tail phalanx, but the exoskeleton robot for finger rehabilitation can still realize training of the tail phalanx because the motion of human fingers is not completely independent and the motion of the near end joint and the tail end joint on each finger of a human is not completely independent; the movement between the near-end joint (the hinge joint of the middle phalanx and the near-end phalanx) and the tail-end joint (the hinge joint of the tail-end phalanx and the middle phalanx) has a certain coupling relation, so that the finger comprehensive rehabilitation training can be realized only by controlling the movement of the hinge joint of the tail-end phalanx and the middle phalanx and the hinge joint of the middle phalanx and the near-end phalanx.
