“…Therefore, this last characteristic compromises the use of these orthoses in-house environments. Holley et al (2014) and Aubin et al (2013) developed wrist and hand orthoses for rehabilitation therapies in children with palsy. In Holley et al (2014) (Figure 2a), the device needs to be sustained on a table for the achievement of the movements, although having the control performed by a computer.…”

“…On the other hand, Aubin et al (2013) developed their orthosis using a glove, in which the movements are controlled by an interface (Figure 2b), becoming simple and compact. Regarding the difference in the amount of degrees of freedom between these orthoses, Holley et al (2014) presented a more realistic orthosis compared to the other, having natural movements, involving extension and flexion, pronation/supination of the wrist, while in the Aubin et al (2013) orthosis, there is only the flexion and extension movements. Oboe et al (2010) developed an orthosis which enables to evoke only the flexion and extension movements of the fingers (Figure 4c).…”

The expansion of assistive technologies has been increasing significantly, involving almost all the daily activities, performed by disabled people. One of the highlights to be mentioned is the robotic orthoses, which are being used to amplify movements, to replace amputated limbs, and for a variety of rehabilitation therapies, among others. This study aims to present a review about upper limbs' orthoses, discussing their weaknesses, potentialities, and pointing out for future perspectives under the motor rehabilitation. Methods: For this research, it had been identified 161 papers, based on the bibliographic bases from IEEE and Science Direct, which were filtered by the keywords orthoses, hand, upper-limbs and technology. After the appropriate exclusions, 22 papers were analyzed. Results: This review indicates that most of the orthoses have been developed for rehabilitation therapies to be employed by people who have suffered stroke, cerebral palsy or spinal cord injury. This research summarized that the upper limbs movements are effectively produced by electric or pneumatic actuators, having a variety of degrees of freedom. Conclusion: This review has shown that, although there are many orthoses styles, ranging from electric to pneumatic actuators; also there are some technical restrictions that prevent their use by most people. However, upper limb orthoses seem to be a great solution for the rehabilitation of people who have suffered a stroke.

A novel, cable-driven soft joint is presented for use in robotic rehabilitation exoskeletons to provide intrinsic, comfortable human-robot interaction. The torque-displacement characteristics of the soft elastomeric core contained within the joint are modeled. This knowledge is used in conjunction with a dynamic system model to derive a sliding mode controller (SMC) to implement low-level torque control of the joint. The SMC controller is experimentally compared with a baseline feedback-linearised proportional-derivative controller across a range of conditions and shown to be robust to un-modeled disturbances. The torque controller is then tested with six healthy subjects while they perform a selection of activities of daily living, which has validated its range of performance. Finally, a case study with a participant with spastic cerebral palsy is presented to illustrate the potential of both the joint and controller to be used in a physiotherapy setting to assist clinical populations.
