Abstract

In this paper, we described the design of the rehabilitation robot system which has been developed in our laboratory. The idea of this design is to control the rehabilitation robot by using a Master-Slave control approach which allows therapists to control the rehabilitation robot for a treatment session remotely. The system consists of a rehabilitation robot (slave) and the gait cycle sensing system (master). The gait cycle sensing system synchronized with the rehabilitation robot via wireless communication so that the therapist can control the movement of the rehabilitation robot directly by his/her own motion.
