Abstract

Ankle exercises are long-term and repetitive and cannot offer information about patient’s evolution. Due to these aspects a need for easy-to-use mechatronic devices emerges. The purpose of this two parts paper is to propose two rehabilitation devices, based on different actuating mechanisms (spatial four-bar and Scotch Yoke mechanism respectively). In the first part the structural synthesis and some kinematic aspects of the proposed devices have been presented. For the second part, 3D models and preliminary numerical simulations of the systems are performed. The simulation results are encouraging, both mechanisms covering all the required movements for a complete recovery of the ankle joint.
