    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Pediatric Rehabilitation
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Children with motor disabilities, including cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, often require physical therapy to improve daily activities.
    • Traditional physical therapy effectiveness varies, highlighting the need for innovative assistive devices.
    • Exoskeletons offer a promising approach to enhance therapy efficiency and engagement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and validate a 3D-printed, passive upper limb exoskeleton for pediatric physical therapy.
    • To create a low-cost, easily manufactured, and assembled assistive device.
    • To evaluate the exoskeleton's usability and functional impact in a gamified therapy setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 5-degrees-of-freedom passive exoskeleton with elastic band-controlled dual operating modes (assistance/resistance).
    • Usability validation through user ratings (average >3.8/5).
    • Functional validation using an inertial sensor in a gamified environment, measuring Hand Path Ratio, Success Rate, and range of motion in 7 children.

    Main Results:

    • Exoskeleton users reported satisfaction levels between 'quite satisfied' and 'very satisfied'.
    • Quantifiable improvements observed: Hand Path Ratio approached 1, Success Rate remained stable, and range of motion increased by over 10 degrees in some movements.
    • The device facilitated measurable progress in children with neuro-motor impairments.

    Conclusions:

    • The 3D-printed passive upper limb exoskeleton is a viable, cost-effective tool for pediatric physical therapy.
    • The device shows potential for improving motor function and patient engagement in rehabilitation.
    • This technology can provide clinicians with an efficient and accessible assistive device for children with motor disabilities.
