[Research on the stability of teaching robots of rotation-traction manipulation].

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the stability of teaching robot of rotation-traction manipulation.

METHODS

Operators were required to get the hang of rotation-traction manipulation and had clinical experience for over 5 years. The examination and data processing of the ten operators in our research were collected by the teaching robot of rotation-traction manipulation. Traction, pulling force, maximum force, pulling time, rotational amplitude and pitch range were recorded and compared for five times(G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5). The qualification rates were analyzed to evaluate the stability of teaching robot of rotation-traction manipulation.

RESULTS

Nonconforming items were found in G1 and G2, for instance, pulling force(P=0.074), maximum force(P=0.264) and rotational amplitude (P=0.531). There was no statistically difference. None nonconforming item was found in G3, G4 and G5. All data were processed by SPSS and One-way ANOVA was used to analysis. Pulling force was found statistically different in G1, compared with G4 and G5(P=0.015, P=0.006). Maximum force was found statistically different in G1, compared with G4 and G5 (P=0.021, P=0.012). None differences were found in other comparisons (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The teaching robot of rotation-traction manipulation used in our research could provide objective and quantitative indices and was considered to be an effective tool of assessing the rotation-traction manipulation.
