Game Scene Construction for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot Based on Virtual Reality

At present, the number of patients with lower extremity dysfunction is increasing year by year. However, traditional rehabilitation training cannot meet the needs of patients for rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation robot is a good solution to train patients instead of the rehabilitation physician. Based on clinical practice experience, a lower limb rehabilitation training system based on virtual reality (VR) is designed, which combined the VR technology and rehabilitation evaluation program to improve the rehabilitation efficiency of patients. According to the functional requirements of the lower limb rehabilitation robot (LLR-RO), the construction of rehabilitation robot control system and sensor system is completed. Based on the Unity3D development environment, a VR scenes of space shooting is planned and created for rehabilitation training VR technology which enables patients to complete the training process while maintaining a pleasant mood. Through the software and hardware debugging, the feasibility, data transmission capability of VR-based remote rehabilitation training system and the synchronization performance of VR scenes and rehabilitation robots are verified. In the future, more virtual reality scenes will be studied to adapt to patients of different genders and ages.
