In this paper, a new mechanism for human leg motion assistance has been proposed for rehabilitation purposes. The structure of human leg and its motions have been used as inspiration for design purposes. A 3D model of the proposed system has been elaborated in Solid Works®, both for design and simulation purposes. It is developed a kinematic model of the mechanisms, useful for further design optimization. There has been build an experimental model of the mechanism and they are conducted experimental researches, the results show that the proposed mechanism performs movements similar to those of a human leg.
