What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable rehabilitation devices for assisting patients with upper limb impairments or neurological conditions, and how do they provide customized support and assistance for tasks such as hand rehabilitation, fine motor control, or activities of daily living?
What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable rehabilitation devices for assisting patients with upper limb impairments or neurological conditions, and how do they provide customized support and assistance for tasks such as hand rehabilitation, fine motor control, or activities of daily living?
Examples include soft wearable exoskeletons, pneumatic muscle actuators, and tendon-driven mechanisms integrated into rehabilitation gloves or orthoses for upper limb assistance. These actuators apply assistive forces, provide joint support, and facilitate repetitive movements to aid in hand rehabilitation, fine motor control training, or performing activities of daily living for individuals with neurological conditions or upper limb impairments.
