A device for traversing a conduit includes a body having a first member that is receivable within a second member. The first member is slidable relative to the second member. A first actuator is coupled to a first end of the body. A second actuator is coupled to a second end of the body. A third actuator is coupled to the body between the first actuator and the second actuator. The third actuator is also spaced apart from the first actuator and the second actuator. The device also includes a pneumatic system that is configured to change the pressure of the actuators.

The present disclosure describes soft-robotic wearable devices to treat and/or relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for example during typing assist applications. Soft actuators within the device adjust the angle of the wearer's wrist angle dynamically to achieve a neutral angle, alleviating the pressure on the median nerve and relieving Carpal Tunnel Syndrome strain.
