Abstract

This paper develops the kinematics of a parallel mechanism with topology 5R. This mechanism focuses on the lower limb rehabilitation of hypotonic infants. At first, the inverse kinematics is solved to generate circular and ellipsoidal trajectories with the objective of demonstrating that specific trajectories, such as flexion/extension, can be generated during the rehabilitation for an infant with hypotonia. The performed analysis to obtain the dimensions of the links is shown, as well as the equations of the proposed mechanism motion. The velocity analysis is also obtained, which will be later used to design and implement the control system necessary to generate the movement in the rehabilitation therapy. As a numerical result, the inverse kinematics validation is presented by performing simulations in ADAMS View software.
