A device () for the rehabilitation of the movements of the foot () includes a supporting base () and a mobile platform () with a supporting surface () for resting the sole of the foot (), wherein the mobile platform () is secured to the supporting base () by a pure rotation movement mechanism () with three degrees of freedom of rotary movement independent the one from the other and placed in parallel which allow rotations of the mobile platform around three axes () which intersect one another in a single rotation center (P). The supporting surface () is turned towards the rotation center (P) and is distant from the rotation center (P) in such a way that the rotation center (P) is positioned in correspondence to the ankle () of the foot ().

A biomedical device () for robotized rehabilitation of a human upper limb, particularly for neuromotor rehabilitation of the shoulder and elbow joint, includes a first rigid rod () and a second rigid rod (), both of which can be associated with the upper limb () of a patient () and are articulated to each other at two adjacent ends () thereof by way of a first universal joint () which can be arranged proximate to the elbow joint () of the upper limb (). The first rigid rod () and the second rigid rod () are associable respectively with the forearm () and the arm () of the upper limb () by joints with four degrees of freedom, of which three are rotary () and one is translational () and aligned with the longitudinal axis, respectively, of the forearm () or of the arm (), the first universal joint () having pivoting axes () which are mutually perpendicular and angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the arm () to prevent a condition of kinematic singularity during alignment between the forearm () and the arm ().
