LIFTYA personalized shoulder assisting device

Shoulder pain and instability are common complaints in people with neurological, neuromuscular and orthopaedic conditions. Simple movements can already cause complaints. Shoulder braces could help to reduce complaints, but also often limit motion or consist of expensive and bulky robotics.
