Exoskeleton Reads Faint Muscle Signals to Overcome Hand Paralysis

A new study introduces an affordable, soft pneumatic exoskeleton glove that restores grasping function in individuals with hand paralysis. Driven by the eXprt innovation network, the system uses machine learning to decode forearm EMG signals with 97% reliability, allowing an ALS patient to grasp objects and hold a fork for the first time in four years.
