The development of upper limb and lower extremity robotic exoskeletons has emerged as a way to improve the quality of life as well as act as a primary rehabilitation device for individuals suffering from stroke or spinal cord injury. This paper contains extractions from the database of robotic exoskeleton for human upper limb rehabilitation and prime factors behind the burden of stroke. Various studies on stroke-induced deficiency from different countries were included in the review. The data were extracted from both clinical tests and surveys. Though there have been splendid advancements in this field, they still present enormous challenges. This paper provides the current developments, progress and research challenges in exoskeleton technology along with future research directions associated with the field of exoskeletons and orthosis. Robot-assisted training (RT) was found to be more effective than conventional training (CT) sessions. The present research articles in this field have many weaknesses as they do not cover the systematic review including the clinical studies and various surveys that lay a foundation for the requirement of robotic assistive devices. This review paper also discusses various exoskeleton devices that have been clinically evaluated.

上肢和下肢机器人外骨骼的发展已作为改善生活质量的一种方法，并作为中风或脊髓损伤患者的主要康复手段。本文包含了用于人类上肢康复的机器人外骨骼数据库的摘录以及中风负担背后的主要因素。该评价包括来自不同国家的各种中风诱发的缺乏症的研究。数据是从临床测试和调查中提取的。尽管在这一领域取得了长足的进步，但它们仍然提出了巨大的挑战。本文提供了外骨骼技术的当前发展，进展和研究挑战，以及与外骨骼和矫形器领域相关的未来研究方向。发现机器人辅助训练（RT）比常规训练（CT）更为有效。本领域的当前研究文章有许多缺点，因为它们没有涵盖系统的综述，包括临床研究和各种调查，这些研究为机器人辅助设备的需求奠定了基础。这篇综述文章还讨论了各种经过临床评估的外骨骼设备。
