Rehabilitation instruments are effective tools for patients to recover from disability. However, we still do
not have a rehabilitation instrument which could provide combined movement with arms and legs. Rehabilitation
with combined movement of arms and legs is completely a new method. In order to check the effect of this
new rehabilitation method and to provide patients with more efficient rehabilitation instrument, we design a new
rehabilitation robot. This robot lets patients practice when they lie down and stand up. This article explains the
design of this instrument clearly. Using Unigraphics NX software to build 3D model, we have a complete design
of this rehabilitation robot.
