Side effects of exoskeletons – excessive caution or serious potential risks? Discussion based on two selected examples: knee joint stress and sitting stability

Introduction: Exoskeletons (EXOs) for supporting physical work reduce acute physical strain in their respective target regions. In contrast, little is known about the side effects of EXOs, such as the effects of load redistribution to other (non-targeted) areas of the musculoskeletal system and the [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
