| Abstract | Hemiplegia is one of the serious effects after stroke. Hemiplegic people lose walking ability and thus, needs of rehabilitation are developing. Many researches on robotics assistive rehabilitation devices are done. Understanding these needs, the objective of this thesis is to design a robotic assistive walking device for hemiplegic people. This device could become a neccesary tool for any hemiplegic patient in walking rehabilitation process. The device is designed to be worn on the patient's paralysed leg to assist the movement of hip and knee joint by two powerful DC motors. Position signal of each joint are collected from angular absolute sensors to control the mechanism as well as feedback to computer. With control box and battery housed on an anti-falling frame, the hemiplegic patient can start his first step after stroke alone or follow the training steps of a therapist |
