Abstract
With the increase of poststroke patients, the occurrence of upper limb dysfunction (ULD) is increasing significantly day by day. Unfortunately, the number of health professionals available to rehabilitate these patients is inadequate. Robot-aided therapeutic intervention has the potential to help patients with ULD get their lost mobility back via intensive and repetitive task-oriented rehabilitation. Over the past few years, numerous exoskeletons have been developed by many research groups. Despite much progress being made in hardware design as well as in control design, upper limb exoskeletons need more advancement to improve functionality and to increase their use in clinical settings. In this chapter, we review existing upper limb exoskeletons to find key problems that need to be solved for improved functionality.
