Biomechanical and physiological effects of an upper-body exoskeleton during simulated load-carrying on an inclined surface
These findings suggest that the CarrySuit® effectively alters heart rate, muscle activity and joint movements during inclined load-carrying tasks, with more benefits shown for males than females. This research contributes to the scientific understanding of commercial exoskeleton technology's efficacy in carrying tasks.
