Upper Limb Exoskeletons for a Better Quality of Life: What Is Currently Available, and What Is Missing in the Market

Abstract

The market of medical devices for assisting disabled people at home and for rehabilitation in hospital and/or at home is very active and promising. The marketing approach, so far, has been based on experience-based report but a strong need to move to an evidence-based approach is one of the major changes that is expected in the next years. In addition, regulations are pushing towards this direction. How can we get ready for this challenge?.
