Abstract

In this paper a comprehensive review of exoskeletons for upper and lower limb rehabilitation is presented. Commercial robots with an emphasis on the pathologies they deal with are described and classified using the NASA Technology Readiness Level (TRL) metric. In addition, their movements and certifications are reviewed. Finally, future trends regarding the use of exoskeletons in the rehabilitation process are discussed.
