Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Robotics
  • Pediatric Assistive Technology

Background:

  • Upper limb exoskeletons are crucial for enhancing motor function in children but face significant limitations.
  • Pediatric applications require specialized designs to accommodate growth and unique user needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review pediatric needs and current trends in upper limb exoskeleton development.
  • To explore future prospects for improving the accessibility of these devices for children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review identifying 14 pediatric upper limb exoskeletons.
  • Classification of exoskeletons based on sensor type (sensorless vs. sensor-based), application, motorization, target population, and supported movements.

Main Results:

  • The scarcity of pediatric upper limb exoskeletons is attributed to the complexity of adapting to children's growth and specific needs.
  • Sensor-based exoskeletons are identified as a promising direction, offering greater adaptability for pediatric users.

Conclusions:

  • Sensor-based upper limb exoskeletons are recommended to better meet the diverse needs of children.
  • These devices can significantly improve children's participation in daily activities and mitigate developmental impairments.
