TAS: A Rehabilitation Training and Administration System Designed for Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot

The upper limb rehabilitation training is critical and indispensable for post-stroke patients. In recent years, an increasing number of rehabilitation robots have been well-designed, and the advantages of these robotic devices include making repetitive movements easily, automating the therapy process and supply therapists with a novel tool. Thus, we design a rehabilitation training and administration system for upper limb rehabilitation robot (TAS). In the system, the user information interfaces are introduced so that therapists can collect, store, retrieve and exchange patients' identification electronically. Moreover, the passive training method and virtual reality games are programmed to stimulate patients' enthusiasm in training process. Using the database, the basic information and historical training performance are stored for further analysis. Finally, the experiment demonstrates that our system is reliable and user-friendly to improve efficiency of rehabilitation therapies, which provide a feasible solution to the shortage of therapists.
