    J Pediatr Orthop 25:420-2. 2005
    ..In the group with low compliance (<90%), 14 of the 25 subjects' curves progressed (56%, P = 0.0075). Results indicate that the more patients comply with brace treatment, the better their chances of a favorable outcome...

    J Rehabil Res Dev 43:583-90. 2006
    ..The exoskeleton has two links and 4 degrees of freedom. It uses linear elastic elements that balance the effects of gravity in three dimensions. The experiences of five children with arthrogryposis who used the WREX are described...

    IEEE Trans Neural Syst Rehabil Eng 15:244-51. 2007
    ..The range-of-motion in the patients' arms increased considerably, while the time required to complete some of the Jebsen test tasks decreased. Most patients were very receptive to WREX, although a few were ambivalent...
