Design, development, and evaluation of a pneumatically actuated soft wearable robotic elbow exoskeleton for reducing muscle activity and perceived workload
These results indicate that the Soft Wearable Robotic Elbow Exoskeleton significantly reduces muscle activation, which may help mitigate the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. By providing effective assistance during repetitive tasks, the exoskeleton enhances both mechanical performance and user comfort.
