Design Methodology for Rehabilitation Robots: Application in an Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation

This article presents a methodology for the design of rehabilitation devices that considers factors involved in a clinical environment. This methodology integrates different disciplines that work together. The methodology is composed by three phases and 13 stages with specific tasks, the first phase...
