Impact of a passive upper-body exoskeleton on muscle activity, heart rate and discomfort during a carrying task.
<h4>Objective</h4>The goal of this study was to compare erector spinae muscle fatigue, upper limb muscle activity, body areas discomfort, and heart rate during a 10-min carrying task with and without a passive upper-body exoskeleton (CarrySuitⓇ) while considering sex influences.<h4>...
