Abstract
An elbow joint rehabilitation system and an elbow joint rehabilitation method are provided. The elbow joint rehabilitation system includes a support member, a motor, a torque sensing unit, a first electromyography sensor, a second electromyography sensor and a motor control device. In the elbow joint rehabilitation method, the support member is configured to support an arm of a patient. Thereafter, the torque sensing unit is configured to sense the torque applied on the support member to obtain a sensed arm torque signal. Then, the first electromyography sensor and the second electromyography sensor are configured to sense the muscle activities of biceps and triceps of the patient to obtain electromyography signals. Thereafter, the motor is controlled to drive the support member to perform rehabilitation in accordance with the sensed arm torque signal, the electromyography signals and a current support member position provided by the motor.
