Rehabilitation with exoskeletons in people with acquired brain injury is a topic of interest for researchers, since these robotic devices seek to recover the sensorimotor sequelae caused by the injury and improve the performance of the injured patient in activities of daily living. The objective of this study was to identify the contributions provided by the implementation of exoskeleton devices used by occupational therapy in the rehabilitation of upper limb in patients with stroke sequelae. The method used was a narrative review, with search strategies in the following databases: Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Pubmed. Published papers in English, Spanish and Portuguese were considered, with key words in the titles and/or ABSTRACTS. A total of 578 papers were identified and 7 were those that met the criteria for inclusion in this research. The results showed that exoskeleton-type devices enhance conventional rehabilitation, with glove-type exoskeletons, assisted limb and brain-computer interface powered exoskeletons standing out in this process. These, when incorporated by occupational therapists in rehabilitation, have shown to generate improvements in motor functionality and manipulative dexterity, which have been evidenced in both acute and chronic stages, generating an increase in the performance of users in carrying out their activities of daily living
