Abstract

Nowadays, the role of robotics in patients’ rehabilitation it is an area of interest for science and technological development. Besides, the motor rehabilitation has had great success in subjects with disability problems which require an intensive and specific therapeutic approach for each task through robots. Budgetary constraints limit to hand-to-hand therapy approach, so machines can offer a solution to further promote patient recovery and to better understand the rehabilitation process. This article presents a ROBMMOR: an experimental robotic manipulator of knee rehabilitation. The robot is capable of performing passive exercises in patients with motor movement problems in the knee. The robot’s system helps the patient in the process in a personalized way through the positions of speed and strength required. Finally, ROBMMOR obtains data and generates an evaluation of the progress of the patient’s rehabilitation that helps the therapist for future analysis.
