Abstract
Exoskeleton-type robotic systems have been of great interest in scientific research in recent years, due to the many applications in which they can be used. They can be found in industry to enhance the physical abilities of the human operator such as speed and strength, in the military, where in addition to enhancing physical abilities, it also provides protection for the operator and in the medical field, in rehabilitation applications where it provides support. and assistance in performing various movements. In this paper, the focus is on exoskeleton robotic devices used to rehabilitate the upper limb for patients recovering from a stroke. There will be a review in the literature for the latest devices developed, they will be classified according to the number of degrees of freedom rendered and respectively the type of drive system used.
