Abstract

The rehabilitation approach has changed with the appearance of robots. As a results the rehabilitation costs significantly decrease but also time for both the patient [1], who does not have to commute for long time to the office and medical professionals. Nowadays medicine, computer science, electronics, and engineering, in general, are strongly connected. A group of specialists is working on newer and newer solutions to improve both diagnosis and therapy. This article provides an overview of basic rehabilitation robotic solutions used in the rehabilitation of upper limb functions. The literature used is based on PubMed and Scopus databases included articles published between 1999 and 2021. Eligibility criteria included upper limb exoskeletons for rehabilitation of both the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints. This paper provides an overview of an important research subject and highlights the current knowledge in the field. Despite extensive attempts to develop rehabilitation systems, exoskeletons are primarily uncommercialised despite a large number of prototypes.
