This article shows the systematic design of a prototype for the knee therapy using integrated concepts of different engineering areas like Automatics, Mechanics, Electronics and Medicine. This design provides a cheap solution to undertake knee therapies. During the design process Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Dynamic Simulation (DS) tools were used in order to ease the prototype construction. An analytic model was obtained and it was compared with the dynamic simulation results to validate the computational models. Finally, a prototype including its power system and control was designed and constructed.
