碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 機械與機電工程研究所 === 97 === Recently, people get more attentions on health issues. In 1991, the government of Taiwan listed “Health & Care Industry” as one of the top 10 new rising industries. Encourage industries to develop multiple functions and high value-added medical equipments and raise the technical level in the country. Electric assistive hand rehabilitation device that help people to recover the function of muscles and live more convenient. This research mainly focus on the new design of electric assistive hand rehabilitation to help patients live more easily. Firstly, analysze the iteratuers and patents of rehabilitation devices and make conclusions. When desige the rehabilitation devies, we must avoide the patent rights. Then, ask the chinesemedical doctor, we conclude some design requirements and design contraints of rehabilitation devices. And, according to the design methobology of creative mechanism design, we synthesize the new design concepts. Then, based on the kinematic design method, the rehabilitation device satisfied the kinematic reguirement is synthesized. Finally, the automatic control system is added into the rehabilitation device to achieve the rehabilitation functions without manu-operation and let the rehabilitation device become more safe.
