Exoskeleton system in the right arm for people with atrophic muscle disorder

The percentage of the population in Mexico with physical limitation or disability in the motion of an arm is 58.3 of the total disabilities. The possibility to suffer one of these mobility loss increase with the age. This produce a decreasing in muscular strength causing a long-term permanent handicap. In this work we propose a preliminary design of a exoskeleton for the right arm for people suffering of muscular atrophy. The device is easy to use and maintain, portable and light. We test the prototype in 6 subjects and obtaining 100% of success in the desired motion.
