Portable robotic device for bilateral neuromotor rehabilitation. An appropriate mechanical structure and a series of interchangeable accessories suitably designed allow the execution of various motor gestures of the upper limbs, involving different articulations and muscles. The possibility of being used with both limbs contributes to the recovery of motor coordination and facilitates the mechanism of brain plasticity. Some rotary axes the device is equipped with are motorized and sensorized. This allows the implementation of adaptive and personalized control algorithms, to support the patient's action according to his motor skills and therapeutic needs. The device can be securely constrained to a generic horizontal surface, such as a table or desk, to facilitate its portability and use, also in telerehabilitation contexts.

The solution allows the execution of various motor gestures during bilateral rehabilitation exercises, combining high portability and simplicity of implementation, contributing to cost containment and use in telerehabilitation context. There are several technological solutions for rehabilitation, but few are dedicated to bilateral rehabilitation and there are currently no solutions on the market able to actively assist, as needed, musculoskeletal structures of the shoulder, elbow and wrist, allowing different movements. Compared to rehabilitation solutions based on the use of motion tracking sensors only, the presence of motorized components and the use of appropriate control algorithms allow their use even by patients with limited motion control capacity. This also allows the customization of the action of the device according to the patient's motor skills.
