exposing their backs to musculoskeletal disorders. Back-support exoskeletons are …

Purpose Low back disorders are more predominant among construction trade workers than
their counterparts in other industry sectors. Floor layers are among the top artisans that are …

Powered back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are emerging as ergonomic interventions in
construction to reduce musculoskeletal injuries by actively enhancing user strength …

Musculoskeletal disorders constitute the leading work-related health issue. Mechanical
loading of the lower back contributes as a major risk factor and is prevalent in many tasks …

Manual material handling tasks in industry cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Exoskeletons are being introduced to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. This study …

Recently, robotic exoskeletons are gaining attention for assisting industrial workers. The
exoskeleton power source ranges from fully passive (FP) to fully active (FA), or a mixture of …
