Accurate trajectory tracking in cable-driven lower-limb rehabilitation robots is challenging because model uncertainty, external disturbances, joint constraints, and pull-only cable actuation can degrade nominal control performance. Conventional model-based controllers provide an interpretable control structure but remain sensitive to model mismatch, whereas fully learning-based control can reduce transparency and complicate constraint-aware operation. This study proposes a residual deep reinforcement learning-enhanced computed torque control framework in which computed torque control generates the nominal command and a bounded Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient policy supplies only an additional compensating torque. The approach is evaluated in simulation under nominal, uncertain, disturbed, combined, and generalization conditions, together with trajectory-tracking, joint-limit, cable-demand, workspace-feasibility, and cable-Jacobian diagnostics. Across the evaluated conditions, the residual controller improves tracking and disturbance rejection relative to computed torque control while preserving the interpretable model-based command structure and satisfying the reported feasibility checks in the representative evaluation. Broader tests indicate that tracking improvements can persist beyond the representative case while also exposing trajectory-dependent constraint limitations. These results support bounded residual learning as a practical robustness-enhancement strategy for simulation-based rehabilitation robot control and motivate further constraint-aware and experimental validation.
