The portable device (10) for rehabilitating an impaired user having difficulties in executing simultaneous reaching and lifting tasks comprises an armrest (12) whereto the forearm of the user can be fastened and means (16) for enabling the movement of the armrest on a surface. It furthermore comprises means (18) for monitoring the movement of the armrest and means (13) for sensing a force exercised by the arm of the user in an orthogonal direction to the surface. The device enables the user to conduct reaching movements in a large workspace having the forearm supported and fastened. The fact that the forearm is supported and fastened to the device allows for better control of the shoulder training movements, avoiding uncontrolled trajectories at the level of the elbow that are possible in case only a handle is grasped.

El dispositivo (10) portátil para rehabilitar a un usuario afectado por una discapacidad con dificultades para ejecutar funciones de extensión y de elevación simultáneas comprende un soporte (12) para el brazo al que puede sujetarse el antebrazo del usuario y medios (16) para permitir el movimiento del soporte para el brazo sobre una superficie. Además comprende medios (18) para monitorizar el movimiento del soporte para el brazo y medios (13) para detectar una fuerza ejercida por el brazo del usuario en una dirección ortogonal a la superficie. El dispositivo permite al usuario realizar movimientos de extensión en un área amplia de trabajo teniendo el antebrazo soportado y sujeto. El hecho de que el antebrazo esté soportado y sujeto al dispositivo permite un mejor control de los movimientos de entrenamiento del hombro, evitando trayectorias descontroladas a nivel del codo que son posibles en caso de agarrar sólo un asidero.
