Project Overview

Many congenital and acquired neuromuscular childhood diseases lead to disabilities in the upper extremities. Varying difficulties including paralysis and muscle weakness have been lessened by the development of exoskeletons. Many current models are heavy, electronic, expensive, and difficult to adjust. The client would like to identify these and other restrictions and weaknesses of current designs by interviewing rehab specialists who have been using upper extremity exoskeletons.
