A dexterous soft hand exoskeleton restores intentional grasping in individuals with severe hand impairment
Nature Machine Intelligence, Published online: 23 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s42256-026-01263-3 Nassour, Berberich and colleagues present a soft robotic hand exoskeleton that restores grasping ability in individuals with severe hand paralysis, enabling meaningful tasks such as feeding. A lightweight textile glove with wrist dorsiflexion and an active opposable thumb increases hand articulations to enable more dexterous grasping.
