Interest in soft gloves, both robotic and haptic, has enormously grown over the past decade,
due to their inherent compliance, which makes them particularly suitable for direct …

Rehabilitation and nursing-care robots have become one of the prevalent methods for
assistant treatment of motor disorder patients in the field of medical rehabilitation. Traditional …

The ability to regulate the mechanical stiffness in a large range could be extremely important
for soft robots to interact with the environment more effectively. In this article, we propose a …

Objectives Soft robotic hands are proposed for stroke rehabilitation in terms of their high
compliance and low inherent stiffness. We investigated the clinical efficacy of a soft robotic …

Soft robotic approaches have been trialed for rehabilitation or assistive hand exoskeletons
using silicone or textile actuators because they have more tolerance for alignment with …

Soft robotic gloves have shown great potential in accelerating the rehabilitation process of
individuals with hand pathologies. However, most of the existing soft assistive devices allow …

In recent decades, extensive attention has been paid to the study and development of
robotic devices specifically designed for hand rehabilitation. Accordingly, a many concepts …

Soft-robotics for biomedical applications, such as rehabilitation robots, is a field of intense
research activity. Different actuation solutions have been proposed in the last decades …

This paper establishes design criteria for soft exogloves (SEG) to be used as rehabilitation
or assistance devices. This research consists in identifying, selecting, and grouping SEG …

This paper describes the design of a bionic soft exoskeleton and demonstrates its feasibility
for assisting the expectoration function rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) …
