Abstract

To my beloved wife Teily, who has always been by my side motivating me. Thank you, my love, for the patience and understanding that you had during the times that I had to be absent to do this work.To my mother Denise and my father César who have always helped, motivated and often left to achieve things for themselves in order to give me a wonderful life.To my sisters Luana and Nina, who have always been companions and motivators, giving me courage in times of difficulty.To my advisor Prof. Dr. Adriano, who taught me not only the wonders of robotic neurorehabilitation, but also how to be a better person.To my friends Polyana Nunes, Diego Bruno, Alberto Lyra and Fernando del Monte, who helped me a lot in this important phase of my life."To move things is all mankind can do, and that for such the sole executant is muscle, whether in whispering a syllable or in felling a forest.
