    Two mechatronics prototypes, useful for robotic neurotreatments and new clinical trainings, are here presented. P.I.G.R.O.\n(pneumatic interactive gait rehabilitation orthosis) is an active exoskeletonwith an electropneumatic control. It imposesmovements\non lower limbs in order to produce in the patient�s brain proper motor cortex activation. Bra.Di.P.O. (brain discovery pneumatic\northosis) is anMR-compatible device, designed to improve fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) analysis.Thetwo devices\nare presented together because both are involved in the study of new robotic treatments of patients affected by ictus or brain stroke\nor in some motor learning experimental investigations carried out on healthy subjects.
