Soft robots are highly compliant and malleable, thus ensuring safe human-machine interactions. To date, a wide variety of actuation mechanisms have been studied and adopted into a multitude of soft wearables for use in clinical practice, such as assistive devices and rehabilitation modalities. Much research effort has been put into improving their technical performance and establishing the ideal indications for which rigid exoskeletons would play a limited role. However, despite having achieved many feats over the past decade, soft wearable technologies have not been extensively investigated from the perspective of user adoption. Most scholarly reviews of soft wearables have focused on the perspective of service providers such as developers, manufacturers, or clinicians, but few have scrutinized the factors affecting adoption and user experience. Hence, this would pose a good opportunity to gain insight into the current practice of soft robotics from a user\u2019s perspective. This review aims to provide a broad overview of the different types of soft wearables and identify the factors that hinder the adoption of soft robotics. In this paper, a systematic literature search using terms such as \u201csoft\u201d, \u201crobot\u201d, \u201cwearable\u201d, and \u201cexoskeleton\u201d was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines to include peer-reviewed publications between 2012 and 2022. The soft robotics were classified according to their actuation mechanisms into motor-driven tendon cables, pneumatics, hydraulics, shape memory alloys, and polyvinyl chloride muscles, and their pros and cons were discussed. The identified factors affecting user adoption include design, availability of materials, durability, modeling and control, artificial intelligence augmentation, standardized evaluation criteria, public perception related to perceived utility, ease of use, and aesthetics. The critical areas for improvement and future research directions to increase adoption of soft wearables have also been highlighted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23063263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T07:30:31Z","timestamp":1679297431000},"page":"3263","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Critical Review on Factors Affecting the User Adoption of Wearable and Soft Robotics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Benjamin Wee Keong","family":"Ang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117583, Singapore"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6210-4548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chen-Hua","family":"Yeow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117583, Singapore"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4266-8709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeong Hoon","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore 119074, Singapore"},{"name":"Division of Rehabilitation Medicine, University Medicine Cluster, National University Hospital, Singapore 119077, Singapore"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Guler, S.D., Gannon, M., and Sicchio, K.
