Abstract
The paper presents a new rehabilitation device for elbow motion as based on a cable-driven parallel manipulator. The kinematic design is presented as characterized with a numerical evaluation of motion performance and an experimental validation. A CAD design is simulated as the basis for a prototype construction. Tests with a built prototype are discussed to show its feasibility and operation characteristics.
