Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, the demand for effective rehabilitation technologies has grown. This study presents the AlmatyExoElbow system with a cable-driven exoskeleton for elbow rehabilitation with two degrees of freedom. The device was designed in SolidWorks CAD and tested in SolidWorks Motion to evaluate flexion/extension and pronation/supination trajectories. The design is simple, adaptable, and cost-effective, making it a promising candidate for future clinical integration and personalized therapy.
