Sensorless and sensor-based upper limb exoskeletons that enhance or support daily motor function are limited for children. This review presents the different needs in pediatrics and the latest trends when developing an upper limb exoskeleton and discusses future prospects to improve accessibility. First, the principal diagnoses in pediatrics and their respective challenge are presented. A total of 14 upper limb exoskeletons aimed for pediatric use were identified in the literature. The exoskeletons were then classified as sensorless or sensor-based, and categorized with respect to the application domain, the motorization solution, the targeted population(s), and the supported movement(s). The relative absence of upper limb exoskeleton in pediatrics is mainly due to the additional complexity required in order to adapt to children’s growth and answer their specific needs and usage. This review highlights that research should focus on sensor-based exoskeletons, which would benefit the majority of children by allowing easier adjustment to the children’s needs. Sensor-based exoskeletons are often the best solution for children to improve their participation in activities of daily living and limit cognitive, social, and motor impairments during their development.

There are different types of elbow orthoses, medical devices engineered to support and stabilize the elbow joint, assisting in recovery from injuries or surgeries, and managing chronic conditions through movement restriction and essential immobilization. The development of elbow orthoses has evolved significantly from rudimentary splints in early medical practices to advanced, custom-fitted devices utilizing modern materials and biomechanical principles. This review provided researchers with a comprehensive overview of the history and development of elbow orthoses. It offered insights into the effectiveness, utilization, and clinical applications of different types of elbow orthotic designs. Additionally, this review contributed to the body of knowledge by comparing traditional and modern elbow orthotic technologies, offering valuable guidance for future research directions in this area of study. Furthermore, this review underscored the challenges and prospects within the field, paving the way for concerted endeavors among academics, healthcare practitioners, and industrial experts to propel the development of elbow orthotic technologies and improve patient results. Thus, researchers potentially could have developed more effective treatment strategies in clinical practice and improved the quality of life for patients.
