Abstract
This paper presen ts the preliminary design of a rehabilitation exoskele ton for the shoulder joint with three degrees of freedom (DOF), actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) based actuators. Due to the actuation system, the proposed exoskeleton presents a light weight , low noise and everything in a simple design structure. The number of actuators and the preliminary designed was calculated after a biomechanical simulation of the human body with a specific cat egory of patients.
