What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments or disabilities, and how do they provide personalized support, adaptive assistance, or rehabilitative therapy for enhancing mobility, independence, and quality of life in daily activities?
What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments or disabilities, and how do they provide personalized support, adaptive assistance, or rehabilitative therapy for enhancing mobility, independence, and quality of life in daily activities?
Examples include soft exoskeletons, wearable orthoses, and robotic prostheses designed for lower limb assistance or upper limb support. These actuators apply assistive forces, correct movement patterns, or compensate for muscle weakness, enabling individuals with disabilities to walk, stand, or perform functional tasks with reduced effort and improved safety, enhancing mobility and autonomy in daily living.
