Highlighting the cost-benefit of any new technology plays an important role in expediting the process of its adoption.
There are still very limited studies on the economic advantages of robotic rehabilitation devices against traditional
forms of physical therapy [37]. However, those that are existing suggest a high potential to provide cheaper
alternatives, thus a more accessible and reliable system The design and development of a cost-effective robotic
exoskeleton for the upper extremities would benefit the following stakeholders:
