Using inertial measurement units to characterize musculoskeletal risk factors in a pilot study of a passive shoulder exoskeleton during a drilling-fastening task.
Exoskeletons have been considered for mitigating ergonomic risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), but they are not consistently utilized in initial deployments as workers in some facilities have not voluntarily used them. In this study, we investigated the impact of a passive shoulder exoskeleton on a...
