Abstract
In this paper, a new mechanism for human leg motion assistance for rehabilitation purposes has been proposed. The structure of human leg and its motions have been used as inspiration for design purposes. A 3D model of the proposed system has been elaborated in Solid Works®, both for design and simulation purposes. It is developed a kinematic model of the mechanism, useful for further design optimization. There has been build an experimental model of the mechanism and they are conducted experimental researches. The result shows that the proposed mechanism performs movements similar to those of a human leg.
