Robotic devices for lower-limb rehabilitation have been mainly tested in neurologically injured patients. Up to now, clinical studies using robotic training in orthopedic conditions are few. A pilot study was carried out at INAIL Physical Rehabilitation Center of Volterra using ARBOT, a prototypal robotic system for ankle rehabilitation. This device has been developed by IIT - Italian Institute of Technology and it consists of a two-degree-of-freedom electromechanical platform which is able to perform most of the exercises foreseen by the standard rehabilitation programs. By virtue of its innovative motion system and control architecture, ARBOT integrates multiple rehabilitation equipment functions, performing also special exercise programs such as elastic and fluid-dynamic resistance.
