Highlights

In this review, the latest progress of threshold control, proportional control and pattern recognition control based on surface electromyography in lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots are presented.

Abstract

The aging population is accompanied by a decline in human body function, leading to an increasing number of people with lower limb dysfunction, which has become a global public health challenge today. The lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robot based on surface electromyography is a current research hotspot. It can help people with lower extremity dysfunction perform better rehabilitation training. This review presents the analysis and processing of surface electromyography, feature extraction and recognition, as well as the control methods for lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots.

Keywords: Surface electromyography, lower limb exoskeleton robot, feature identification, rehabilitation treatment, man-machine interaction
