REduction of the lifting Load Among logistics workers through a passive back eXoskeleton. Protocol of the RELAX project, an 18-month in-field controlled intervention study

2026-05-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Occupational exoskeletons are used to reduce physical workload and prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders in physically demanding jobs. Although laboratory studies demonstrate reduced muscle load during simulated manual work tasks, evidence from long-term, real-world implementations remains very limited. The RELAX project aims to investigate the long-term effects of a passive back-supp...
