Stroke is in the fifth place among the diseases that kill the most in the United States andis also one of the most leading causes of neurological disability in the world. Recently, robotic therapy has been more often used in the rehabilitation of individuals affected by stroke. In some cases, it proves more efficient than conventional therapy. There are few studies about the rehabilitation of the trunk and the equilibrium reactions with seated patient in individuals affected by stroke despite many daily activities are performed in this position. Robotic systems are used on stroke rehabilitation due it is possible to provide a high dosage and intensity of repetitive training aimed at specific activities. We propose a new platform to evaluate the reactions of individuals affected by stroke using robotic technologies. A model was constructed to simulate the movements of the system using pieces machined in plastic. A graphic control interface was developed to generate movement protocols where the physiotherapist can insert the parameters of these movements as commands, such as: angulation, speed and axis of the movement. It was possible to show that the platform moves accordingly to the programmed from repetitive tests of accelerometers data using moving average filter, expecting a precision of up to 1°. It is expected that this device may serve a large number of patients as an alternative in the rehabilitation of the stroke providing a safe and conducive environment for the rehabilitation.
