Abstract  We outline problems and potential solutions for feasible human-machine interfaces using cable-based parallel manipulators for physiotherapy applications. From an engineering perspective, we discuss the design constraints related to acceptance by patients and physiotherapist users. To date, most designs have focused on mobile platforms that are designed to be operated as an end-effector connected to human limbs for direct patient interaction. Some specific examples are illustrated from the authors’ experience with prototypes available at Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM), Italy.

Key words： Robot design      Robot applications      Cable-based parallel manipulators      Human-machine mechanical interfaces
