Problems solved by technology

As previous examples have shown, current therapeutic equipment is either too simple and restrictive, allowing only the most basic training and often disturbing the patient during the procedure; or too complex and bulky, making the equipment expensive, intimidating for the patient and make it difficult for a therapist to use

[0127] Overview of a novel non-exoskeleton robotic device with multiple active axes

[0128] look first figure 1 , which shows a novel multi-active-axis non-exoskeleton robotic device 5 that is suitable for various robot-assisted therapy and other applications. The robotic apparatus 5 generally includes a base 100, an inner coupling device 105, an outer coupling device 110, and a limb for coupling the outer coupling device 110 to a patient, typically to the patient (e.g., as figure 1 As shown in, the patient's arm 120) of the coupling element 115.

[0129] figure 1 The preferred embodiment shown in has three degrees of freedom, but those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention may include fewer or greater numbers of degrees of freedom. Three degrees of freedom theoretically provides the ability to access all positions in Cartesian space, limited by the kinematic constraints of the device, such as joint limitations, linkage length and transmission ...
