Abstract
Extended absence from work due to non-fatal injuries and musculoskeletal disorders negatively impacts a company’s productivity. Exoskeleton devices provide a means to reduce this absence from work by assisting recovering workers to timely and safely return to work. This study investigated and quantified the amount of support and L5/S1 joint load reduction provided by wearing the exoskeleton device while performing simple bending, squatting, and lifting tasks in the workplace. The preliminary results showed the potential of the exoskeleton device in spinal load reduction during tasks.
