• Abstract:

  The rate of neoplasms, that can

  generate sequelae as limb movement limitation,

  is increasing. The aim of present study is upper

  limb exoskeleton development to simulating the

  movement of the elbow joint from commands

  given by electromyography (EMG) signals. The

  exoskeleton movement is performed through

  pneumatic muscles to assist people who have

  some reduced mobility sequelae. The use of

  this kind of rehabilitation device increases the

  quality of life and prevention against other

  complications caused by immobility.
