Abstract
This work proposes a mechatronic device for elbow rehabilitation. The realized therapy is based on continuous passive motion. A prototype was realized and design and dimensioning is here presented. Preliminary tests will be performed on non-pathological subjects to allow clinical experiments.

This work proposes a mechatronic device for elbow rehabilitation
Thanks to results obtained from preliminary tests functional requirements have been defined for the device’s control [7]
Summary
The advantages obtained by using automatic devices for rehabilitation include the ability to gain quantitative information about therapies in order to adapt it to the particular needs of patients [1]. Thanks to these mechatronic devices [2, 3], there is the possibility of performing the therapy and the execution of exercises remaining autonomously at home or under a physiotherapist’s supervision, which controls the precision of movements performed by patients [4]. MATEC Web of Conferences The objective is to provide the physiotherapist with a device that, in addition to reproducing the most used types of exercise in a precise [13,14,15,16] manner, allows to test new rehabilitation techniques and to quantify the results [17]
