The people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) or post stroke hemiplegia are easily exposed to secondary problems due to limited mobility. A new wheelchair integrated lower limb exercise/rehabilitation system is proposed to help their daily living and rehabilitation. The system consists of three main modules: 1) an electric wheelchair, 2) a lifter which raises and supports the subject's body weight, and 3) a lower limb exoskeleton. This paper describes the concept of the entire system and configurations of the prototype. In the design of the lower limb exoskeleton, the ergonomic joint mechanisms are introduced to assist the natural daily motions based on the biomechanics of each hip, knee and ankle joint.
脊髓损伤（SCI）患者或中风后偏瘫患者由于行动能力受限，很容易出现继发性问题。为帮助他们的日常生活和康复，提出了一种新型的集成下肢运动/康复系统的轮椅。该系统由三个主要模块组成：1）电动轮椅，2）用于抬起和支撑受试者体重的升降装置，3）下肢外骨骼。本文描述了整个系统的概念和原型的配置。在下肢外骨骼的设计中，引入了符合人体工程学的关节机构，以根据每个髋关节、膝关节和踝关节的生物力学来辅助自然的日常运动。
