Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation (EULR) with 3D printing technology based on force sensor.

The paper addresses the significant challenge of limited accessibility and high costs associated with commercial exoskeletons for hand rehabilitation, particularly for individuals with low to middle incomes. The aim of this study is to design and develop a low-cost, 3D-printed hand exoskeleton that integrates force sensor technology, providing a more adaptable solution for rehabilitation. The methodology involves creating a prototype that combines 3D printing with real-time monitoring of upper limb (elbow) movements and forces, ensuring personalized treatment for patients.
