VR Training Environment for Early Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

For lack of effective means of early rehabilitation training for patients after spinal cord injury, the method of early spinal cord injury rehabilitation training combined with virtual reality (VR) and rehabilitation robot is studied, and relevant training mode is formulated. Based on the analysis of the relation between body movement and muscle training, an eight degrees of freedom rehabilitation robot is designed with six degrees of freedom as the basic framework. Meanwhile a VR scene for training is built, and the mechanism of its communication with the robot is established, which makes the movement of the robot keep pace with the change of virtual scene, and then the real-time interaction between patients, robotics and virtual scene is achieved. After being tested, the entire training environment in each mode is able to coordinate.
