Standard Practice for Assessment Method for Exoskeletons in Logistics

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders include lifting and carrying heavy loads, forced posture such as overhead work and repetitive tasks (2). The lower back, spine, and shoulder are frequently affected structures (3, 4).

5.2 This practice gives a standardized method for testing and assessing exoskeletons in realistic work scenarios with ideally professional users. This is expected to improve the validity of testing and assessing exoskeletons.

5.3 This practice enables the creation of a large amount of data for exoskeletons on test set-ups and the opportunity to compare and classify the exoskeleton on the global market when using the corresponding test method.

5.4 The results for comparison with the global market of the data collected as part of the Exoworkathlon study can be found on the website www.exoworkathlon.de.
