The aim of this study was to evaluate a passive upper-limb exoskeleton as an ergonomic
control to reduce the musculoskeletal load in the shoulders associated with augmented …

Augmented reality (AR) interactions have been associated with increased biomechanical
loads on the neck and shoulders. To provide a better understanding of the factors that may …

This study aimed to characterize the biomechanical stresses in the neck and shoulder, self-
reported discomfort, and usability by different target distance or size during augmented …

Introduction Excessive physical shoulder musculoskeletal loading (muscle and joint contact
forces), known to contribute to work-related shoulder disorders, can be reduced by a passive …

Upper-extremity exoskeletons (UEXO) are promising interventions for reducing the physical
demands of work performed with arms elevated (eg, overhead work). In this study, we …

Despite growing literature, limited research details the influence of passive upper limb
exoskeletons on upper limb kinematics. Two bolting tasks and a tracing task were completed …

A custom-designed, wearable, lightweight, and passive exoskeleton was proposed to
provide gravity support for industrial workers to reduce prevalence of musculoskeletal …

This study aimed to assess the physiological consequences of using an upper limb
exoskeleton during manual handling task, as muscle activity, upper limb kinematics, postural …

Overhead work can pose substantial musculoskeletal stress in many industrial settings. This
study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of passive upper-limb exoskeletons in reducing …

Objective: This paper assesses the effect of a passive shoulder exoskeleton prototype,
Exo4Work, on muscle activity, muscle fatigue and subjective experience during simulated …
