Abstract: Lower limb rehabilitation is an often-encountered need. This paper presents the design process of an exerciser that combines robot-assisted physiotherapy with functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the lower limb muscles. The exerciser features two degrees of freedom, one focuses on the rehabilitation of the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, the other one on the muscles responsible for the inversion and eversion of the foot. These motions might be accompanied by FES, if the physiotherapist so recommends. The presented exerciser constitutes a mechatronic device that seamlessly integrates mechanical design, electronics and control engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
