Evaluating self-assistance during functional reach with a passive hydrostatic exoskeleton under artificial impairment
In this sample of adults with an artificial impairment, self-assistance using a passive hydrostatic exoskeleton accelerated motor performance improvements without creating a dependency on the assistance. If replicated in clinical populations, this approach may help promote upper-limb functional independence.
