In this paper a human upper limb robotic system is analyzed through an experimental study. The experimental analysis aim is to validate this robotic system type in order to use it in some kinetotherapy programs for the human upper limb recovery. The robotic system experimental research was performed by using equipment called SIMI Motion which enables to evaluate angular variations in 2D environment. Through this equipment used we establish the angular variations developed at the robotic system joints level. This paper consists of three main parts. In the first part there is an actual study of the robotic systems specially designed for the human upper limb rehabilitation, and in second part, the robotic system proposed for this experimental research is described. In the third part the experimental research is described in detail.

Current health services are struggling to provide optimal rehabilitation therapy to victims of stroke. This has motivated researchers to explore the use of robotic devices to provide rehabilitation therapy for strokepatients. This paper reviews the recent progress of upper limb exoskeleton robots for rehabilitation treatment of patients with neuromuscular disorders. Firstly, a brief introduction to rehabilitation robots will be given along with examples of existing commercial devices. The advancements in upper limb exoskeleton technology and the fundamental challenges in developing these devices are described. Potential areas for future research are discussed.
