In order to make most patients recover most of their limb functions after rehabilitation training, virtual reality technology is an emerging human-computer interaction technology, which uses the computer and the corresponding application software to build the virtual reality environment. Completing the training tasks in the virtual environment attracts the patients to conduct repeated training in the game and task-based training mode and gradually realizes the rehabilitation training goals. For the rehabilitation population with certain exercise ability, the kinematics of human upper limbs is mainly analyzed, and the virtual reality system based on HTC VIVE is developed. The feasibility and work efficiency of the upper limb rehabilitation training system were verified by experiments. Adult volunteers who are healthy and need rehabilitation training to participate in the experiment were recruited, and experimental data were recorded. The virtual reality upper limb rehabilitation system was a questionnaire. By extracting the motion data, the system application effect is analyzed and evaluated by the simulation diagram. Follow-up results of rehabilitation training showed that the average score of healthy subjects was more than 4 points and 3.8 points per question. Therefore, it is feasible to perform upper limb rehabilitation training using the HTC VIVE virtual reality rehabilitation system.

This paper proposed a bilateral upper-limb rehabilitation device (BULReD) with two degrees of freedom (DOFs). The BULReD is portable for both hospital and home environment, easy to use for therapists and patients, and safer with respect to upper-limb robotic exoskeletons. It was implemented to be able to conduct both passive and interactive training, based on system kinematics and dynamics, as well as the identification of real-time movement intention of human users. Preliminary results demonstrate the potential of the BULReD for clinical applications, with satisfactory position and interaction force tracking performance. Future work will focus on the clinical evaluation of the BULReD on a large sample of poststroke patients.

In this paper, by replacing the integral mass flow equation to fractional-order mass flow equation, the fractional-order mathematical model of 2DOF pneumatic-hydraulic upper limb rehabilitation training system is established. A new 2DOF fractional-order fuzzy PID (FOFPID) controller is designed, to provides a new reference for improving the control accuracy of the pneumatic system. In the design of the controller, the weight parameters of the input terms are transformed into the weight parameters of the error, and the input, which are analyzed to improve the accuracy of the controller design. The parameters of the control system are determined by multi-objective particle swarm optimization. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed control method, the experimental research was carried out by building the experimental platform of pneumatic-hydraulic upper limb rehabilitation training system. The results show that the 2DOF FOFPID controller has better performance than other designed controllers under different working conditions.
