REHABILITATION EXERCISERS – FROM SIMPLE DEVICES TO ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

Beniamin CHETRAN, Alexandra Maria ALUŢEI, Emöke SZELITZKY, Dan Mândru

Abstract


Rehabilitation has as objective the reintegration of disabled in family and society. In this paper the field of Rehabilitation Engineering is described and general issues concerning the design of kinetotherapy equipment is emphasized as well as the authors’ contribution in development of a large range of simple devices and powered systems for rehabilitation exercises.

 Key words: rehabilitation, kinetotherapy, exerciser, prototype.
