  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a thin active fixture that holds a human body to attach and detach an exoskeleton with less effort and time. This fixture does not become wearer´s burden due to a light weight and interfere with finger motions due to a thin shape. A required time to attach/detach a grasping support exoskeleton to/from fingers and a wrist by our fixtures is shorter than one of Velcro.
