Objective: The purpose of this work was to develop an open-source musculoskeletal model
of the hand and wrist and to evaluate its performance during simulations of functional tasks …

This paper conducts a thorough literature review and assessment of prevailing upper-limb
rehabilitation devices, scrutinising their strengths and limitations. The focus of this work is …

Abstract Framework This paper explores how a qualitative systematic literature review (SLR)
can contribute to our understanding of the trends in upper-limb wearable devices. These …

Exosuits present intriguing structural advantages compared to exoskeletons; nevertheless,
accurately modeling and simulating their effectiveness when integrated with the …

The light weight and compliance of exosuits are valuable benefits not present rigid
exoskeleton devices, yet these intriguing features make it challenging to properly model and …

This paper proposes an adaptive gravity compensation (AGC) control strategy for a cable-
driven upper-limb exosuit intended to assist the wearer with lifting tasks. Unlike most model …

This article presents a dynamic model of a pneumatic braided muscle (PBM) actuator which
is inspired from skeletal muscle model. The behavior of the PBM actuator can be simulated …

For rehabilitation or assistance applications, a new class of wearable devices called 'soft
exoskeletons' or 'exosuits' emerged this last decade. Exosuits are lightweight with compliant …
