JAECO WREX
Wilmington Robotic EXoskeleton
The JAECO WREX is a functional upper
limb orthosis designed to enhance
movement for individuals with
neuromuscular disabilities. Its state-of-
the-art construction utilizes a light
weight exoskeleton that approximates
normal human anatomy. Linear elastic
bands are used both for balance and to
assist movement in three dimensions
against the effects of gravity. These
features provide for exceptional range of
motion to aid in a variety of therapeutic
and daily living activities.
This manual is designed to assist with
initial set-up and balance of the WREX
Mobile Arm Support
The WREX was developed with an NIH grant.
