Among lower limb injuries, the ankle joint is the most common injured in sports and daily life in general. Rehabilitation aims to recover the patient’s physical capabilities through long and repetitive exercises. This paper discusses structural and kinematic aspects of a novel ankle rehabilitation device, which can facilitate the recovery of the ankle joint. The proposed device has two degrees of freedom, and will ensure functionality with minimum dimensions. Some preliminary mathematical models are also presented.
