LIGHTarm: A highly adaptable gravity-compensated exoskeleton for upper-limb rehabilitation and ADL assistance

LIGHTarm is a passive gravity-compensated exoskeleton for upper-limb rehabilitation and ADLs assistance at home. Specific benefits derive from its peculiar kinematic structure (a European patent application is pending). In the next weeks, it will be experimentally assessed by healthy subjects. The first prototype will be presented during the 1st Clinical Movement Analysis World Conference.
