Abstract

This paper describes the design and construction of a mechatronic system that aims to support physical therapies for the rehabilitation of the knee and ankle, assisting the patient in flexion and extension movements. The system consists of a mechanism that can be adapted to the patient, a data acquisition stage consisting of an Arduino and a virtual interface programmed in LabVIEW. The above in order to achieve a continuous passive movement device that reduces stiffness and pain in the joints, generating a gradual and slow movement determined by the physiotherapist.
