Exoskeleton - wearable devices. Literature review [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 Exoskeletons are companion devices that help a person to perform various daily activities. These can range from work to medical rehabilitation. The type of activity performed depend on the construction and control of the exoskeleton, so that some devices are for only one arm, others for both, can be driven by motors directly or through cables ...

Flexohand: A Hybrid Exoskeleton-Based Novel Hand Rehabilitation Device [PDF]
Micromachines, 2021 Home-based hand rehabilitation has excellent potential as it may reduce patient dropouts due to travel, transportation, and insurance constraints. Being able to perform exercises precisely, accurately, and in a repetitive manner, robot-aided portable devices have gained much traction these days in hand rehabilitation.

Design of a Payload Adjustment Device for an Unpowered Lower-Limb Exoskeleton
Sensors, 2021 This paper proposes a device that can change the payload of an unpowered lower-limb exoskeleton supporting the weights of humans and loads. Our previous exoskeletons used a cam–follower structure with a spring applied to the hip joint.
