In this article, various investigations on soft exoskeletons are presented and their functional
and structural characteristics are analyzed. The present work is oriented to the studies of the …

Robots are effective tools for aiding in the restoration of hand function through rehabilitation
programs or by providing in-task assistance. To date, a multitude of exoskeletal devices …

In the field of rehabilitation robotics, transparent, precise and intuitive control of hand
exoskeletons still represents a substantial challenge. In particular, the use of compliant …

Abstract Background The Hand Extension Robot Orthosis (HERO) Grip Glove was iteratively
designed to meet requests from therapists and persons after a stroke who have severe hand …

This work proposes a novel external Stephenson-III six-bar mechanism-based rehabilitation
device. This device has been designed to rehabilitate the patient's finger for the action of …

It has been clinically proven that exoskeletons are effective self-training rehabilitation or
