Summary
This study tested a soft-robotic glove called Carbonhand in 6 people with hand weakness due to aging or neuromuscular disease. The glove supports finger movement to help with daily tasks. Researchers measured how the glove affected movement, pain, and fatigue during strenuous activities. The study was terminated early, so findings are limited.
