Abstract
An ergometer has been developed with the object of kinesitherapeutic exercise of the lower extremities for the purpose of neurological re-education. The main advantage of this system is its ability to select the main group of muscles necessary for a specific movement by changing the position of the body and controlling the load of the ergometer.<>
