Positively advocating that low-cost additive 3D-printing technologies and open-source licensed software/hardware platforms represent an optimal solution to realize low-cost equipment, a mechanical and 3D-printable device for bilateral upper-limb rehabilitation is presented. The design and manufacturing process of this wheel-geared mechanism, enabling in-phase and anti-phase movements, will be openly provided online with the aim of making a set of customizable devices for neurorehabilitation exploitable all over the world even by people/countries with limited economical and technological resources. In order to characterize the interaction with the device, preliminary trials with EMG and kinematics recordings were performed on healthy subjects.
