This video gives you an idea of how the exoeskeleton works for arm use. The site also has demos for wrist/hand models. It is used mainly by ALS and CP patients!
There's a family whose SMA kid uses it for the arms, and they report their kid gained lots of independence thanks to it. The important detail is that the kid must seat straight in a wheelchair, if so then he/she is a good candidate for this.
Think arm suspension... that actually moves everything and supports everything reacting to the smallest of force. Awesome!
