3.4. DIEGOA third, less widely used design concept in workstation robotics, utilizes cables to support and mobilize the upper limbs. The commercially available DIEGO (Tyromotion, Graz, Austria) utilizes an overhead boom with four suspended cables,which connect to slings at the wrist and elbow. The device can be applied unilaterally or bilaterally and employs “intelligent gravity compensation” to unweight the limb and facilitate motion in three dimensions, much like a mobile arm support. Support can be withdrawn over time as patients progress from passive to active therapy modes.
