Abstract
The rehabilitation of limbs is achieved with the assistance of a large range of devices. A novel solution of elbow active orthosis is described regard-ing the structure, calculus and design of the exoskeleton. The solution is based on a mechanism with gears and linkages with linear actuation, which ensures linear transmission function, singularity free and light construction.
