Abstract: Recently, rehabilitation robot technologies have been paid more attention by the researchers in the fields of rehabilitation medicine engineering and robotics. To assist active rehabilitation of patients with unilateral lower extremity injury, we propose a new self-service rehabilitation training method in which the injured lower limbs are controlled by using the contralateral healthy upper ones. First, the movement data of upper and lower limbs of a healthy person in normal walk are acquired by gait measurement experiments. Second, the eigenvectors of upper and lower limb movements in a cycle are extracted in turn. Third, the linear relationship between the movement of upper and lower limbs is identified using the least squares method. Finally, the results of simulation experiments show that the established linear mapping can achieve good accuracy and adaptability, and the self-service rehabilitation training method is effective.
