Biomechanical analysis of different lifting speeds when using an active exoskeleton

The decrease in MES activity of 22.3% MVC with full support suggests a potent reduction in spinal load. MBF activity increased less with higher speeds when support was applied. The MVM showed low and stable activity across all conditions. These findings suggest that the active exoskeleton Apogee provides support regardless of lifting speed and may help prevent MSDs in occupational settings. Users can adjust support levels based on task requirements and personal comfort.

Abstract

The decrease in MES activity of 22.3% MVC with full support suggests a potent reduction in spinal load. MBF activity increased less with higher speeds when support was applied. The MVM showed low and stable activity across all conditions. These findings suggest that the active exoskeleton Apogee provides support regardless of lifting speed and may help prevent MSDs in occupational settings. Users can adjust support levels based on task requirements and personal comfort.
