Interestingly, despite the health technology advances, we still use traditional rehabilitation methods and tools. Currently available equipment for rehabilitation on the market have severe physical limitations, in addition to the lack of adaptability to the most diverse requests, severely limiting the treatment applied by health professionals. One of the main causes of this is the market's lack of intelligent, safe, effective and affordable equipment for rehabilitation.

Recent studies showed that rehabilitation is efficient for motor recovery, but combining them with Brain-machine interfaces (BMI), that makes a direct connection of the brain to external devices, providing even higher and significant motor improvement [1] for upper limbs. The same technology applied to lower limbs showed also interesting outcomes [2], motivating the search for inexpensive solutions to help these the motor improvement of these patients in upper [3] and lower limbs [4].
