Review evaluates robotic devices for upper extremity rehabilitation in physically disabled individuals, highlighting engineering designs and clinical gaps to guide future system development.

Key Points

To review existing and developing robotic devices for upper limb rehabilitation and provide a comparative reference to assist the design of advanced rehabilitation systems.
Surveyed upper extremity robotic systems currently deployed in clinical settings and those in the engineering development phase.
Categorized and tabulated technical solutions based on application field, target population, type of assistance, mechanical architecture, control strategies, and clinical evaluation.
Identified substantial variation across mechanical designs and control strategies used to deliver therapeutic assistance to the upper limb.
Determined that despite demonstrated therapeutic potential, the translation and availability of rehabilitation robots into standard clinical practice remains limited.
