This project is a series of customized wearable sleeves with different recovery function that can be applied to various application scenarios for elbow rehabilitation. These sleeves are fabricated based on a novel fabric soft pneumatic actuation (FSPA) technology which uses special knit structure (bubble pattern) to provide actuation channel. With this design - normal cuffs with therapeutic functions, I tried to reduce the use burden of the patients due to medical attributes and help those who are experiencing long and repetitive rehabilitation exercises can feel ease to use it to support life
