Can back exosuits simultaneously increase lifting endurance and reduce musculoskeletal disorder risk?

Published: May 17, 2024

The objectives of this case series study were to test whether an elastic back exosuit could increase a wearer’s endurance when lifting heavy objects, and assess more cancels out the exosuit’s risk reduction benefits. We found that 88% participants increased their repetitions while wearing exosuit, with increases ranging from 28-75%. then used these empirical data ergonomic assessment model based on fatigue failure principles estimate effects cumulative damage (an indicator low disorder risk) is worn lifts are performed. Participants exhibited 27-93% lower exosuit. These results confirmed participants’ capacity without canceling injury Back exosuits may make it possible simultaneously boost productivity reduce musculoskeletal risks, which relevant workers in civilian defense sectors.
