Robots used in robotic rehabilitation are electromechanical, computer-assisted therapy tools that support and increase functions, accelerate recovery, report the course of the disease, and make the treatment somewhat enjoyable.

Rehabilitation robots are divided into two according to their intended use:

1. Gait robots

2. Arm and hand robots
