초록

본 논문은 뇌졸중에 의한 상지 편마비 환자의 재활훈련을 위한 동력보조형 상지재활훈련기의 설계를 제안하였다. 설계된 상지재활훈련기는 3자유도를 가지고 있으며, 검지와 손목은 독립적으로, 그리고 나머지 손가락은 하나의 모듈로 굽힘과 폄 동작이 가능하다. 손목 기구는 복동식 공암실린더를, 손가락 기구에는 두 개의 전동식 선형구동기를 적용하여 동작을 보조하도록 하였다. 설계를 기반으로 프로토타입 상지재활훈련기를 제작하였으며, 0.8mm이내의 오차로 정상상태에 수렴하도록 위치제어기를 구현하였다. 실험의 결과로부터 동력보조용 상지훈련기가 실현가능함을 보였다.

In this paper, we proposed a design of upper-limb rehabilitation device with power-assist function for stroke survivals. The designed upper-limb rehabilitation device has three degrees of freedom; it is possible to perform flexion and extension motions of wrist, index finger and the other fingers except the thumb independently. The power-assist for wrist motion is performed by a pneumatic double-acting cylinder, but the fingers are actuated by electrical linear actuators to assist motions. A prototype upper-limb rehabilitation device and its controller were implemented. The position controller showed 0.8 mm errors in the steady-state. Experimental results showed that the proposed upper-limb rehabilitation device with power-assist function is feasible.
