Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While wearable robotics is expanding within clinical settings, particularly for neurological rehabilitation, there is still a lack of consensus on how to effectively assess the performance of these devices. This review focuses on the most common metrics, whose selection and design are crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes and potentially improve the standard care.
