Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Present experimental study of novel spring-loaded upper- limb exoskeleton that enables limb movement at multiple joints in different planes for resistance training in free and unconstrained environment. Relevance – Prolonged life expectancy will lead to increased occurrences of age-related health problems such as chronic disease. – Rehabilitation devices must keep pace with care standards, be cost effective, and meet home-based training requirements of today’s rehabilitation trends.
