BEFORE / AFTER

What changed from existing technology?

Previous limitation

This study tests a soft robot that helps people with arm injuries move their arms better by supporting the shoulder and elbow. The robot uses air pressure and sensors to help with movement, and it makes it easier for patients to do daily tasks.

INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY

What could change if this succeeds?

07 · ONE MORE POSSIBILITYOne possibility beyond the paper

This exosuit could be used to assist patients with brachial plexus injuries in performing daily activities by improving their upper limb function and reducing muscle fatigue.
