Mechatronic Design of Rehabilitation Brace

Abstract

The service robotics and robotic rehabilitation devices are more and more com-mon in medical care of elder, post injury people or people after head stroke. The approaches used in industrial control system, could bring reliable and valid data about recondition and rehabilitation progress. The paper describes possibilities of modern drive control system and usage of status info of these drives for sensor-less diagnostics. The aim of our research is special brace, which could help with intensive knee re-habilitation on one side and which can be daily used on the other.
