Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) was subordinate to different specialties. Currently, it is recognized as essential to improving healthcare. How did it originate and which events impacted it? Different events have impacted the development of PMR including war, epidemic, sport, natural disasters, and the demographic and sociocultural characteristics of each country. At present, PMR is experiencing some difficulties throughout the world; we present proposals to improve its position to bring the specialty up to the specialty podium. Accidentology, sports events, and natural disasters enrich medicine in general and PRM in particular. Indeed, all these events create disability through a participatory and integrative strategy of the patients; PMR always takes up the challenge.

“…World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over one billion people, nearly 15% of global population, live with at least one kind of disability or 1 in 7 individuals suffers from disability and 2% to 4% have severe difficulties in locomotion [6], [7]. Disability disproportionately affects women, and older and poor people, in particular indigenous individuals and ethnic minorities [7]. Disability is a global health and human rights issue that leads to poor health outcomes, lower educational achievement, and less economic participation and has a higher incidence in low and middle income countries, which include many in Latin America [7].…”

In the rehabilitation process, robotic structures can support the different medical-surgical actions. These recovery process activities often involve repetitive movements that must be performed several times at various amplitudes. Robotic structures for rehabilitation can be driven by three types of active drives, namely electric, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Pneumatic systems have become increasingly present in various market segments and are widely used in the industry, mainly due to their ease of maintenance, low cost, safety and applicability in various processes. Currently, the concept of Frugal Innovation is being discussed, which emerges as a way to produce effective and affordable products using fewer resources to reach less-served customers. Frugal Innovation is centered on saving resources, is characterized by simplicity and clarity and aims to reach the low-income market. This article proposes the application of Frugal development methods in the design of a lower limb rehabilitation system. With the application of frugal concepts, pneumatic actuators were chosen. The choice of the pneumatic cylinder is presented from the required pneumatic force. The application of the Frugal Innovation approach in the design of this type of products demonstrates the relevance of applying these methods in efforts to mitigate or reduce the growth of the technological gap between underdeveloped and developed countries.
