An overview of upper limbs exoskeletons aimed at supporting daily life activities of persons with different levels of disabilities is presented, with a particular focus on the functional gain the devices possibly deliver to the user. Observed differences in terms of effective functional improvement and self-perceived functional improvement will be discussed, with particular attention to deriving requirements for a successful assistive device.

Abstract

An overview of upper limbs exoskeletons aimed at supporting daily life activities of persons with different levels of disabilities is presented, with a particular focus on the functional gain the devices possibly deliver to the user. Observed differences in terms of effective functional improvement and self-perceived functional improvement will be discussed, with particular attention to deriving requirements for a successful assistive device.
