Abstract:

In order to improve the practicability and rationality of upper limb rehabilitation training products, a functional-behavior-structure (FBS) model was proposed for expansion, with the features of upper limb rehabilitation movements serving as the starting point. A design model for upper limb rehabilitation products based on need-function-behavior-motion-structure (NFBMS) was constructed by integrating user needs and rehabilitation actions. A demand index evaluation system was established through user research, and the entropy weight method was employed to prioritize user needs. The NFBMS model was utilized as the design framework to perform design decoupling. Combined with upper limb rehabilitation actions, the mapping process of the conceptual model of upper limb rehabilitation products was systematically analyzed, and the mapping results were solved through the design structure matrix (DSM) clustering. A functional structure coupling method for upper limb rehabilitation products was established to design a wearable upper limb rehabilitation device for stroke patients. NX12.0 software was used for kinematics simulation analysis to verify the rationality of the upper limb rehabilitation product structure. The research demonstrated that the method based on the NFBMS model, combined with kinematics simulation, enhanced the functional structure of upper limb rehabilitation equipment and provided a new idea for the innovative design of similar products.
