In this paper we represent the development of a sensor effector boot mechatronic device for effective rehabilitation of patients in the early post-traumatic stage (1 month) after the occurrence of a serious spinal-cord trauma or poli-trauma. The device is portable with insurance for vertical position in the bed of the immovable patients. The device includes: a module for basing and fixation of the patient’s leg, a sensor “SkinTouch” for measuring bio-electrical impedance in points on the skin of the foot, a mechanism for acupressure, a module for basing of a measuring sensor and a mechanism for acupressure, and also gives the possibility for their connection to various foot points for the programme performance of the procedures and PC controlled sensor and effector elements, connected to the physician’s monitor.
