In it is reported that although Kinect had varied success depending on the activity being done, there was still a good overall relationship between the results of the Kinect and the Vicon system for most movements. In Kinect is distanced between 1.0вЂ‰m and 3.0вЂ‰m from the targets and the RMS errors between the Kinect and Vicon system are all below 10вЂ‰mm.

In they investigated the accuracy of Kinect by comparing it to a Vicon camera, which is a very precise, but expensive and bulky, marker-based motion capture system. Kinect would only be a viable alternative to current red, green, blue, depth (RGB-D) cameras if it provided accuracy that was comparable. There have been multiple clinically evaluated systems using Kinect, but the majority are being used for upper limb rehabilitation, as seen in. The 6-DoF parallel robot is stiffer than a tripod as it employs extra three actuators hence it requires actuators with lower load capacity. The path planning of a hybrid parallel robot for ankle rehabilitation was investigated based on inverse kinematics during normal walking and stepping.

Therapeutic exercises can vary from range of motion, active assistive isotonic, isometric, isokinetic, and manual exercises. To develop the robotic devices, first the motor learning and motor adaption of healthy people should be investigated and then the neurologically injured patients can be rehabilitated with respect to the obtained results. In another study, the prototype of a 3-RSS/S parallel mechanism has been produced for ankle rehabilitation application, but no clinical trials have been found for this system. In another study, a high performance 2-DoF overactuated parallel mechanism has been designed and built for ankle rehabilitation based on custom designed backdrivable actuators and an impedance control system. Rutgers is one of the pioneering ankle rehabilitation devices and its developments have been cited in eight different studies. Using a 6-DoF parallel robot is an applicable method for lower limb rehabilitation due to its simple configuration and high flexibility in performing a different range of motions. In some studies resistive force has been provided during exercise and haptic simulation has been interacted with VR simulation. These systems have been categorized in five different groups: (i) treadmill gait trainers, (ii) foot-plate-based gait trainers, (iii) overground gait trainers, (iv) stationary gait trainers, and (v) ankle rehabilitation systems. Дifferent lower limb rehabilitation-assisting robots have been developed to revive the functional mobility of damaged limbs, ranging from complex computerized stations to simple structures. The level of motor recovery of patients can be quantified by defining different rehabilitation exercises for the robot. Emerging robotic technology in a traditional rehabilitation therapy session would provide high quality treatment at a lower cost and effort. The use of robotic technology in rehabilitation can accelerate the treatment and recovery of the disabled and it actuates the rehabilitation clinics to change their path from labour-intensive operations to technology-assisted operations. The improvement of motor recovery and motor plasticity of a patient along specific patterns is the aim of rehabilitation exercises. Although the rate of mortality due to stroke has been falling, the prevalence of stroke is expected to increase in the future due to the aging population. Stroke is a leading cause of death and it is also a leading cause of chronic disability with 100,000 patients having their first stroke annually in the UK.

The results demonstrate the robotвЂ™s capability to perform a full range of various rehabilitation exercises. Kinect camera was used to track the motion of the legвЂ™s model placed on the robot.

A physical parallel robot prototype was built in order to simulate and execute the foot trajectories of the participants. The calculated length of the actuators and the actuatorsвЂ™ forces were used by motion analysis in SolidWorks in order to simulate different foot trajectories by the CAD model of the robot. Based on the kinematics and dynamics of a parallel robot, a MATLAB program was developed in order to calculate the length of the actuators, the actuatorsвЂ™ forces, workspace, and singularity locus of the robot during the performing of the exercises. The foot trajectories of twenty healthy participants have been measured by a Vicon system during the performing of four different exercises. The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of a 6-DoF parallel robot to perform various rehabilitation exercises.
