Design, Development and Control of a Therapeutic Robot Incorporating Aquatic Therapy for Ankle Rehabilitation

The simple act of walking can occasionally cause ankle sprains. Traditionally, the rehabilitation of a sprained ankle involves physical therapy. Physical therapy is one of the health professions that help regain mobility through manual exercises. Aquatic therapy is one of the most potent water-based...
