Abstract
The prevalence of neurological disorders such as stroke, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury is increasing quickly but although the benefit of the use of technology in rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation programs is proved, the presence of mechatronic systems is still very low. This paper proposes a new portable lower limb exoskeleton for functional rehabilitation in persons with neurological pathologies. A novel approach of a whole mechatronic system has been done in order to approach functional rehabilitation in patients with neurological disorders and stroke.
