This project looks for the development of improvements to be deployed in a robotic structure used for rehabilitation of the lower lim. This structure will be applied in the future on patients who suffered stroke. One of the main after effects of the stroke is the hemiparesis where the patients lose the movements of one part of the body. The robotics structures existents in the literature usually provides the rehabilitation of just one of the limbs (upper or lower limb). The structure of the research of this project allows the rehabilitation of all the hemiparesis sides, in other words, the rehabilitation of the upper and lower limb simultaneously. During the tests with volunteers and patients of stroke, was possible to detect the necessity of mechanical improvements, for example, the modelling of a new drive mechanism and of a fairing; electronics improvements and the development of new games in this structure, that will be deployed in this project.
