Abstract
This paper discusses structural and kinematic aspects of a novel ankle rehabilitation device. This device will facilitate the ankle recovery, providing two types of motions: pitch and roll. The platform is design to be light weight, easy to realize and low cost (comparing to actual devices on the market). The difficulty of the exercises can be gradually increased until we reach full ankle recovery.
