This paper presents a virtual reality training system for the lower limb rehabilitation robot, which can simulate the bike riding and encourage patients to join in the recovery training through the built-in competitive game. The virtual reality training is a variable speed active training under the constraint trajectory, and it has adapting training posture function which can provide individual riding training track according to the legs length of patients. The movement synchronization between the robot and virtual model is achieved by interaction control strategy, and robot can change the training velocity based on the signal from feedback terrains in game. A serious game about bike match in forest was designed, and the user can select the training level as well as change perspective through the user interface. The training can be paused at any time, and the timer function could reflect the recovery of patient.

Stroke is one of the leading causes that elicits to disability for adults over a long period. Post-stroke patients often have difficulties with joints and muscles in their legs, which prevents them from moving around. Lower limb rehabilitation helps to regain normal mobility and functionality of patients such as standing, walking and climbing stairs. The implementation of virtual reality in stroke rehabilitation helps to encourage patients on frequent engagement with exercise. This paper briefly presents the ongoing research regarding lower limb rehabilitation systems for post-stroke patient in virtual reality environment to provide an overview of the conceptual design, limitations, and suggestions for future work in this direction.

Aimed at improving the dynamic response of the lower limb for patients, an impedance control method based on sliding mode was presented to implement an active rehabilitation. Impedance control can achieve a target-reaching training without the help of a therapist and sliding mode control has a robustness to system uncertainty and vary limb strength. Simulations demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method for lower limb rehabilitation.
