Lightweight active back exosuit reduces muscular effort during an hour-long order picking task
Abstract Occupational back exoskeletons and exosuits aim to reduce low back injuries in the workplace. For these technologies to be adopted, it is important that they provide biomechanical benefits to the wearer and do not disrupt job performance. To address this challenge, here we developed a light...
