Development and performance evaluation of a linear actuator based wearable assistive device

For an assistive device to be usable in carrying out activities of daily living, it is highly important that the device be compact, light in weight and portable. It is even more important that the device be comfortable and safe to use. As different people have different hand sizes, the assistive...
