Abstract
With the increasing global aging population, stroke has become one of the major health concerns for the elderly, often leading to limb motor dysfunctions that require long-term rehabilitation. Aiming to improve the rehabilitation outcomes of hemiplegia and alleviate the shortage of rehabilitation physicians, rehabilitation robots have shown significant potential in clinical research for enhancing motor function and improving recovery outcomes in stroke patients. This paper classifies rehabilitation robots based on their drive mechanisms and interaction models and describes the scope of their structural features and applications. The current research status of rehabilitation robots is analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective of medicine and engineering, highlighting technological shortcomings and providing directions for future development in the field of rehabilitation robotics.
