Abstract

In this chapter, the design of a knee re-trainer is reported. This equipment is used in the rehabilitation of geriatric patients. The main objective is to recover the residual capacity in individuals who have a disease related with arthritis. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) was used in order to fulfill the requirements of patients, therapists and orthopedists. The designed prototype helps to recover residual muscular capacity of the knee. Also, the constitutive elements of knee articulation can be re-educated. Good results have been obtained during the initial tests.
