“…Kinematical [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] and dynamical [56][57][58] aspects of the system are related to the linear motor's calibration [59,60] that is performed by changing PID parameters and by overlapping the obtained law of motion on the desired one, for a heart rate of 60 beats per minute. When the deviation between two laws is acceptable, durability tests are performed by varying heart's frequency or by setting a random frequency and then by analyzing the heart valve's behaviour.…”

Abstract. The objective of this research is the creation of a testing bench prototype for comparing different types of heart valves, taking into account the variability of some important parameters involved in cardiovascular events. Thanks to performed tests and to obtained data, the comparison between the different valves allows physicians to make the most appropriate choice of heart valve for each patient. The study is still in preliminary stage: it is necessary to do many tests in order to obtain a large amount of data with which it is possible to proceed with the development and implementation of a testing bench stable and easily programmable.

Abstract. The paper is devoted to a survey on the state of the art of elements and parts for the upper limb rehabilitation. As a matter of fact, the use of technological, and specifically of robotic, devices is entering in the habits of clinical approaches, due to their ability to work efficiently and to be able to obtain, at least, the same rehabilitation results of manual therapy. At the same time, the therapists can change his/her role in rehabilitation activity from a physical contribution to an intellectual/motivational one.
