In Peru, it is estimated that more than 350 children are born with myelomeningocele annually. During their growth, they usually present motor and sensitivity alterations at the level of the injury due to the involvement of the spinal cord. Their treatment consists of physical therapy so that they reach their maximum possible development. The present research addresses the design and manufacture of a robotic device capable of rehabilitating the lower extremities in newborns with myelomeningocele. The most relevant rehabilitation exercise in therapy is knee flexion and extension. The prototype is aimed at six-month-old babies and the main objective of the device was to achieve the range of motion of 54°, developed by a healthy baby. For this, a mechanical design methodology was used that involves the conceptual design, manufacture and characterization of the drive system, as well as the functional validation and integration of the prototype of the robotic device. As a result, a wearable robotic system based on a flexible actuator was proposed to develop the rehabilitation exercise. Of the design proposals for the drive system, the vacuum-powered low-profile artificial muscle (LP-VPAM) stood out. The actuator was manufactured and characterized by the isometric contraction and free contraction test, obtaining a maximum force of 27 N and a maximum contraction of 31 mm at -40 kPa, respectively. In functional validation, a 6-month-old infant leg model was fabricated and experimental tests were performed to determine the angle of extension and flexion in the prone and side positions, respectively. The robotic system was implemented by integrating the drive, sensing, mechanical and control subsystems. A maximum extension angle of 61° was reached at a pressure of -40 kPa and a maximum bending angle of 43° at a pressure of -40 kPa.
