Abstract
For patient of limb paralysis, the upper limb rehabilitation equipment is important for them to train the muscles. The equipment should be secure, useful and comfortable. They are ensured by the design of mechanical structure and control system. The single joint motion and combinatorial motion are introduced to imitate the function of human upper limb. The upper limb strength can be recovered efficiently and the muscle contraction can also be well preserved. The vibration module and wireless transceiver improve the training effect.
