description Affordability of biomechanical devices have been subjected to numerous discussion amongst users that requires such products. Therefore, this paper will explore on the possible affordable technologies that would enable the end-users to have access to the upper-extremities pneumatically-powered exoskeleton in daily life. Such devices will enable rehabilitation as well as assistances to individual that would require such assistive technology in their daily living. The customizable exoskeleton features adjustable arm-length for proper fitting to users. This exoskeleton is powered by McKibben pneumatic muscles mimicking muscles in the upper extremities. Moreover, the system enables remote monitoring via cloud or IoT platform. Future development of this prototype will be incorporation of more telerehabilitation features to improve adoption in user-friendliness of this enabling technology.
