Design and Analysis of a Hip Rehabilitation Mechanism

Abstract:

Studying the hip, a new type of parallel mechanism with three branches and 2DOF, 2-PSS/U asymmetric is proposed, which is based on the analysis of structural features of the human lower limb hip joint and the importance of human lower limb. A hip rehabilitation institutions, combined with Parallel Mechanism and electric machinery, is used for rehabilitation training. Calculating the degree of freedom of mechanism, verifying its degree of accuracy by means of screw theory, the Mechanism's forward position is evaluated, velocity analysis is made based on screw theory on the mechanism.
