Rehabilitation system for robotized mobilization of a glenohumeral joint

A rehabilitation system for robotized mobilization of a human glenohumeral joint of a patient, the rehabilitation system comprising:

• a limb gripping member configured to:
• receive an arm of a patient;
• and
• secure the arm of the patient in a predetermined position;
• an actuating mechanism configured to urge a head of a humerus bone of the patient to move along a first axis by applying a linear force to a proximal end of the humerus bone of the patient, the head of the humerus bone of the patient located at the proximal end of the humerus bone of the patient;
• and
• a guide rail, the limb gripping member mounted slidably onto the guide rail, the guide rail configured to limit movements of the patient's arm and the limb gripping member to a linear movement along a second axis,
• wherein the actuating mechanism comprises:
• a force applying assembly mounted slidably onto the guide rail, the guide rail configured to limit movements of the force applying assembly to a linear movement along the second axis;
• and
• an actuator fixedly attached to the guide rail, the actuator configured to apply a linear force along the first axis to the proximal end of the humerus bone of the patient by moving the force applying assembly on the guide rail and along the second axis.
