Abstract
People with some kind of upper limbs motor impairment show have several limitations that interfere with the ability to do regular activities independently, affecting social participation and life quality. One possible way for rehabilitation is the robot-assisted therapy, an approach that uses an intensive, repetitive, interactive and individualized practice. This paper consists in the project, development and validation of an upper limb dynamic orthosis to be used for robot assisted therapy.
