Cleverarm: A Novel Exoskeleton For Rehabilitation Of Upper Limb Impairments
This addresses rehabilitation for individuals with upper limb impairments, but it appears incremental as it focuses on design and control without demonstrating new performance gains.
The paper tackles the problem of upper limb rehabilitation by introducing CLEVERarm, a novel exoskeleton with eight degrees of freedom, including six active and two passive, designed to support motion in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, but no concrete results or numbers are provided.
CLEVERarm (Compact, Low-weight, Ergonomic, Virtual and Augmented Reality Enhanced Rehabilitation arm) is a novel exoskeleton with eight degrees of freedom supporting the motion of shoulder girdle, glenohumeral joint, elbow and wrist. Of the eight degrees of freedom of the exoskeleton, six are active and the two degrees of freedom supporting the motion of wrist are passive. This paper briefly outlines the design of CLEVERarm and its control architectures.
