ABSTRACT

It elaborated on the high disability rate of stroke and the important position of rehabilitation robots in assisted rehabilitation training. It introduced in detail the possible mechanisms, clinical research and key technologies of different rehabilitation robots to assist stroke patients in improving hemiplegic gait, and pointed out that rehabilitation robots assist The advantages and disadvantages of gait reconstruction in stroke patients in clinical application are discussed, and it is expected that rehabilitation robots should develop towards intelligent, precise, convenient and family-oriented in the future to better assist the gait reconstruction training of stroke patients.
