Development of Smartphone-Controlled Hand and Arm Exoskeleton for Persons with Disability

This study addresses the need for assistive technology of people who lost control of their upper limbs as well as people who are undergoing rehabilitation. Loss of upper limb control causes lack of functionality and social acceptability especially for many people in developing countries with fewer a...
