Summary

This study looked at how a soft-robotic glove that helps with hand grip affects movement during hard daily tasks. Researchers wanted to see if using the glove changes how people move their hands and arms, and if it causes pain or discomfort. The study included frail older adults and people with nerve or muscle diseases who have trouble using their hands. The goal was to understand the glove's effects to improve future designs and training.
