Validation of a Hybrid Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation. A Preliminary Study

Recovery of therapeutic or functional ambulatory capacity in patients with rotator cuff injury is a primary goal of rehabilitation. Wearable powered exoskeletons allow patients to perform repetitive practice with large movements to maximize recovery, even immediately after the acute event. The aim o...
