The space guide mechanism also prevents a backward movement caused by the moving treadmill belt. Space guide mechanism is connected with the chassis equipped with a weight balance system which ensure balance during walking. The developed system is capable to support person heavy less than 85kg. Fig. 5. Realized prototype of the overall rehabilitation system 4. Kinematical behaviour and joint forces In order to develop the control system it is useful to analyze the actuator forces necessary to move the mechanical system with reference to the shinbone and thighbone angular positions. Since the system is a rehabilitation one with slow velocities dynamic loads will be neglected in the following. The articulations have only one DOF or they are actuated by only one pneumatic actuator . The kinematic scheme of the leg is shown on the .

By means of simple geometric relations the process that calculates the length of the actuator of the shinbone once known the rotation angle B2 is described with 1 . The equations 1 show this process for the shinbone considering the geometrical structure and the connections between different components. ỗ2 n 02 Y2 a2 p2 y c2 d2 2cd cos S2 1 After the calculation of the actuators length p2 the angle p2 can
