  • Abstract
    The need for innovative solutions to generate resistive torques during the rehabilitation exercises is emphasized. For the elbow joint of an exoskeleton few scheme are proposed, for rotational ERF clutches and ERF linear dampers. The dimensional synthesis of slider-crank mechanisms is presented and a family of mechanisms was obtained.
