University of Aberdeen | Soft 'robo arm' could help stroke recovery @universityofaberdeen | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
People recovering from strokes could soon have their recovery boosted by a new ‘soft robotic arm’ being developed at the University of Aberdeen.

James Greig, a final year PhD researcher, has designed and built the device which could allow patients to carry out invaluable physiotherapy at home in addition to existing assisted physio sessions.

The lightweight, affordable equipment uses flexible, inflatable material to support the arm as it makes basic repetitive movements – essential for rehabilitation following a stroke.
