This article analyzes different trajectories that different patients take when performing knee rehabilitation movements, which are flexion-extension movements in the supine position, analyzing the trajectory taking the patient’s ankle as a reference point, aiming to design a mechanism that can offer a solution to the following more than one trajectory issue, which will allow it to be used for more than one movement, in more than one patient.
