A device and a method for reversibly connecting a rehabilitation mechanism to a bed, such as a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. The device has a connection element arranged on the rehabilitation mechanism; a receiving unit, which can be arranged at the side of and/or at the foot end of the bed; the receiving unit corresponds in design to the connection element; and a transport device for transporting the rehabilitation mechanism toward and away from the bed. The transport device and/or the bed is height-adjustable. A method for operating a rehabilitation mechanism connected to a bed by way of the novel device. Easy, fast, reversible connection of a rehabilitation mechanism to a conventional hospital bed is enabled, in particular to a hospital bed that can be brought to a vertical position. Existing beds can be quickly and economically retrofitted with a robot system for kinesiotherapy.
