Development of a single actuator exoskeleton for wrist and forearm rehabilitation

Jesus Alvarez-Pastor et al. Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2021 Nov.

Abstract

Recent estimations state that the absolute number of strokes will increase in the future. For this reason, novel rehabilitation therapies, such as robot-assisted therapy, are essential to speed up patient recovery. This paper describes the design, development, and control aspects of a light-exoskeleton addressing forearm and wrist motions using one actuator. Besides, usability pilot study results are presented.
