Abstract
This paper describes the development of a continuous passive motion aquatic device applied to human lower limb rehabilitation. The intention of this work is to help patients and health professional during rehabilitation sessions using the aquatic environment. First this paper presents a review about the continuous passive motion device developed and the robotics devices applied to rehabilitation in the aquatic environment. After, the mathematical model of proposed device as well as the prototype and the preliminaries experimental tests are presented. Finally, this paper presents the conclusions and the suggestions for future works.
