The number of stroke patients is increasing every year. Many studies have been carried out to rehabilitate post-stroke patients; one of them is using robotic assistance. However, rehabilitation robots, especially for lower limbs, are usually large, so they are less active. This study aims to design and manufacture compact lower limb rehabilitation robots, which focus on the knee so that the rehabilitation process can run effectively. After being designed and manufactured, the rehabilitation robot is also tested whether it can run well. Based on measurements between the motion sensor and the actual movement, there is almost no difference in distance. Besides, from the graph of position, speed, and acceleration, the rehabilitation robot runs well.
