A Soft Exosuit for Flexible Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2018 For stroke survivors and many other people with upper-extremity impairment, daily life can be difficult without properly functioning arms. Some modern physical therapy exercises focus on rehabilitating people with these troubles by correcting patients' perceptions of their own body to eventually regain complete control and strength over their arms ...

Topology Optimization of Exo‐Glove Poly II for Enhancing Functionality and Wearability
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.This study proposes a topology optimization method for Exo‐Glove Poly II to enhance functionality and wearability. By modeling its finger body as a longitudinally periodic structure, a unit cell‐level optimization—aimed at minimizing distortion and achieving user‐preferred stretchability—is established. Experimental validation shows reduced distortion,
