Robot-assisted healthcare offers benefits for repetitive, intensive
and task specific training compared to traditional manual
manipulation performed by physiotherapists. However, a majority of
existing rehabilitation devices use rigid actuators such as
electric motors or hydraulic cylinders which cannot guarantee the
safety of patients; novel soft robots combining soft and compliant
actuators with stiff skeletons offer a better alternative. This
book focuses on the development of these soft robotics for
rehabilitation purposes. Topics covered include an introduction to
soft robots and the state of the art of their use in healthcare;
concept and modelling of a soft rehabilitation actuator - the Peano
muscle; design of the reactive Peano muscle; soft wrist
rehabilitation robot; development and control of a soft ankle
rehabilitation robot (SARR); design, modelling and control
strategies of a gait rehabilitation exoskeleton (GAREX); and
conclusions and future work. This book presents novel applications
of mechatronics to provide better clinical rehabilitation services
and new insights into emerging technologies utilized in soft robots
for healthcare, and is essential reading for researchers and
students working in these and related fields.
