The aim of this review was to provide an overview of assistive exoskeletons that have
specifically been developed for industrial purposes and to assess the potential effect of …

Lower back pain and musculoskeletal injuries are serious concerns for workers subjected to
physical workload and manual material handling tasks. Spine assistive exoskeletons are …

When defining requirements for any wearable robot for walking assistance, it is important to
maximize the user's metabolic benefit resulting from the exosuit assistance while limiting the …

We present the design and evaluation of a multi-articular soft exosuit that is portable, fully
autonomous, and provides assistive torques to the wearer at the ankle and hip during …

Exosuits show much promise as a method for augmenting the body with lightweight,
portable, and compliant wearable systems. We envision that such systems can be further …

Background Carrying load alters normal walking, imposes additional stress to the
musculoskeletal system, and results in an increase in energy consumption and a …

In this paper we present a soft lower-extremity robotic exosuit intended to augment normal
muscle function in healthy individuals. Compared to previous exoskeletons, the device is …

In the EU, lower back pain affects more than 40% of the working population. Mechanical
loading of the lower back has been shown to be an important risk factor. Peak mechanical …

This review meta-analysis combines and compares the findings of previously published
works in the field of soft wearable robots (SWRs) that provide active methods of actuation for …

To understand the effects of soft exosuits on human loaded walking, we developed a
reconfigurable multi-joint actuation platform that can provide synchronized forces to the …
