Simplifying Exosuits: Kinematic Couplings in the Upper Extremity during Daily Living Tasks
, 2019 In the past few years, several light-weight soft wearable robots, so called exosuits, for upper extremity assistance have been developed. The design of exosuits is often based on a bio-mimetic design approach, mimicking the human biomechanics.

A Smart, Textile-Driven, Soft Exosuit for Spinal Assistance
Sensors, 2023 Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are often caused by repetitive lifting, making them a significant concern in occupational health. Although wearable assist devices have become the norm for mitigating the risk of back pain, most spinal assist devices still possess a partially rigid structure that impacts the user’s comfort and flexibility.

Investigation of the Stresses Exerted by an Exosuit of a Human Arm [PDF]
, 2020 If a wheelchair could be considered as a better solution than an exoskeleton for the mobility of people suffering from neuromuscular diseases, there is a relevance to use a soft wearable exoskeleton (or exosuit) to assist the upper limbs in order to perform daily tasks such as having a drink, a pencil.

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were
