Breathing Exoskeleton is a collapsible sleeve that forms to the arm of the user, similar to a expandable breathing ball it can condense and open up. The flexibility allows for it to form to the users hand, no matter the size and each of the electrodes (the red hexagons) is able to be readjusted by just sliding it into the correct position manually when necessary. This allows for the user to be able to adjust by themselves they find is the most comfortable and suitable for their arm. In my previous research, researchers found that when the user adjusts and tweaks the machine themselves they found a significant decrease in adjustment time than if a third party was adjust it for them.
Over time, their comfortability may increase and another adjustment is need, similar to a sock that may move over time and needs to be moved to feel more comfortable, the user is able to do that easily since they can simply reopen and close the sleeve easily with just a pull. This pull mechanism also in consideration of individuals that do not additional assist when putting on and taking off the sleeve. It is void of difficult attachments such as zippers and velcro, which can be easy to put on but difficult to take off.
