To construct a novel lower limb rehabilitation robot.
To bridge the gap between research and practical application in healthcare.
To design an open-structure robot for enhanced usability.

Main Methods:

Designed exoskeletons incorporating three single-leg movement patterns.
Developed force models for patient training under varied conditions.
Implemented a control system and security strategy.
Conducted a preliminary clinical validation with a prototype.

Main Results:

The robot's functionality was validated through patient prototype testing.
Observed performance variations across different patients and rehabilitation stages.
Confirmed the robot's validity and potential for treating walking disorders.

Conclusions:

The developed lower limb rehabilitation robot shows promise for clinical application in China.
The open-structure design facilitates practical healthcare integration.
This research provides a valuable reference for future rehabilitation robot designs.
