Cover Story: Neurological impairment in the arm and hand affects millions of individuals worldwide. However, the ability to understand the sources of impairment and prescribe targeted therapy is limited by the current instruments in use. To bridge this gap, a new instrument has been developed with comprehensive bilateral assessment in mind. The BiLateral Upper-limb Exoskeleton for Simultaneous Assessment of Biomechanical and Neuromuscular Output (BLUE SABINO) comprises a dual-arm and dual-hand design, with 9 active degrees of freedom per arm and 12 degrees of freedom (six active, six passive) per hand. With this system, its developers plan to investigate the underlying neural and physiological correlations among arm function, impairment, learning, and recovery. View this paper
