  • Abstract
    This paper presents a cable-driven ankle rehabilitation system (C-DARS). The proposed system is designed to easily apply the ankle rehabilitation treatment for multi-users. A small and light connecting part is attached to an orthosis worn by a patient, and the required force for the rehabilitation treatment is transmitted by a cable-driven mechanism. The force-delivering part can be easily attached and detached with the orthosis using a magnet-based connecting system.
