IIT Delhi has developed the RoboExo SMARTTM, a hand-exoskeleton device designed for upper limb rehabilitation, particularly for stroke patients. The device synchronizes wrist and finger movements, enhancing daily functions and reducing muscle rigidity, making it a significant improvement over traditional physiotherapy methods. Applications include aiding stroke recovery with a portable, lightweight, and cost-effective solution, suitable for widespread use, especially in resource-restricted areas. The device is now heading for international clinical trials in Australia, in collaboration with Proxmed Pty. Ltd., to validate its efficacy globally. Successful trials at AIIMS New Delhi have already shown promising results in improving mobility and reducing muscle rigidity in patients.
