Resumo
Increasing in traumas and stroke cases for accidents boosts researcher to develop new technologies aiming at to comfort enhancement, time and cost reduction in rehabilitation. In this work, it is presented the simulations of a robotic device able to perform several kinds of physical exercises; having isokinetic, isotonic, isometric and passive activities. Based on these operating concepts, a mechatronic system is designed based on commercial devices able to perform these types of tasks. This system allows patient or therapist to choose from diverse forces and velocity ranges. Additionally, the system is simulated to visualized and avoid eventual disturbances, caused by involuntary patient contractions or spasms caused by muscular atrophy. Through this robotic device, it is possible to incentive games or competitions among patients, increasing its mood and autonomy level during therapy sessions.
