Abstract
This paper outlines the main design issues for an upper limb rehabilitation device. In particular, human motions have been measured and analyzed in order to identify a safe workspace required for a rehabilitation device. A preliminary design solution is proposed based on a cable-driven parallel architecture, which can provide the required operation workspace and significantly improve the safety of the rehabilitation procedure as compared with exoskeletons or traditional robotic devices.
