A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Physiotherapy: Improving Elbow Rehabilitation in Baseball Pitchers
The PAM-based soft robotic sleeve provides a convenient and effective upper limb rehabilitation solution that is specifically designed for baseball pitchers. The sleeve reduces the physical strain of pitchers by reducing muscle activation in both the biceps and triceps, as well as decreasing the Co-Contraction Index (CCI). Its portability, convenience of use, and potential to improve muscle efficiency make it an effective tool for improving rehabilitation outcomes.
