This chapter provides an overview of the research and development of upper limb
exoskeleton systems. These systems can be broadly categorized into assistive devices …

This chapter aims to provide an overview of the research and development of modern active
hand exoskeleton systems. These systems are characterized by the ability to actively control …

We propose a robust adaptive controller for the safe and accurate trajectory tracking control
of upper limb rehabilitation exoskeletons. The proposed controller can adapt to the inertia …

Upper limb prostheses are commonly mounted to the human residual limb by a passive
socket. By this design, the sensitive residual limb is exposed to high reaction wrenches …

Limited research has been conducted on hand exoskeletons for an augmentative role. Hand
and wrist exoskeletons for therapeutic purposes, however, are widely researched featuring …

In physical rehabilitation, exoskeleton assistive devices aim to restore lost motor functions of
a patient suffering from neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disorders. These assistive …

Arm and hand function play a critical role in the successful completion of everyday tasks.
Lost function due to neurological impairment impacts millions of lives worldwide. Despite …

Simulators have been traditionally used for centuries during medical gestures training.
Nowadays, mechatronic technologies have opened the way to more evolved solutions …

This study aims to document the design of the OTHER Hand: a novel bilateral,
reconfigurable, hand exoskeleton with opposable thumbs for use with upper limb …

Activities of daily living (ADL) such as writing, eating, and object manipulation are
challenging for patients suffering from pathological tremors. Pathological tremors are …
