A Soft Pneumatic Exosuit to Assist Pronosupination in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A lightweight (30 g) textile‐based pneumatic exosuit assists forearm pronosupination in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury. The soft robot enhances forearm range of motion and reduces muscle effort without hindering hand function. Tested in 10 patients during an interactive exergame, it improves motor performance and demonstrates promise for ...
