What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments or physical disabilities, and how do they provide powered assistance, joint support, or adaptive control to enhance mobility, independence, and quality of life in daily activities?

Examples include soft exoskeletons, textile-based actuators, and pneumatic muscle systems integrated into wearable devices or orthoses for lower limb assistance. These actuators apply assistive forces, provide joint stability, and synchronize movements with user intent, enabling individuals with mobility impairments to walk, stand, or perform activities of daily living with improved comfort, efficiency, and autonomy.
