Abstract

See full text

Described herein is an arm supporting exoskeleton including a proximal link, a distal link, a torque generator, and a bracket. The distal link is configured to rotate relative to the proximal link about a first rotational axis forming a first angle between the proximal link and the distal link. The torque generator is configured to provide a torque profile between the proximal link and the distal link as a function of the first angle, thereby producing a supporting force onto the upper arm of the person. The bracket is coupled to one of the proximal link or the distal link. A location of the bracket is adjustable to adjust an effective length of the torque generator to adjust an amplitude of the torque profile provided by the torque generator thereby adjusting the supporting force onto the upper arm of the person.
