Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A device for connecting a leg of a person to a movement mechanism includes a retaining element. The retaining element has at least one connecting element for directly connecting the retaining element to the movement mechanism, and a fixing device for fixing the leg of the person to the retaining element. The connecting element can rotate relative to a longitudinal axis thereof. The device advantageously permits simple and quick connection of the user to the device and also of the device, together with the user, to a movement mechanism. The device is easy to operate by third parties and also by the user, is easy to clean and disinfect and affords the user a high level of wearing comfort. The device also ensures controlled transmission of movement from the movement mechanism, in particular to the legs of the user, and in addition can be produced cost-effectively.
