Pneumatic Exoskeleton Enables Overhead and Forward Arm Support

Robotics, Tech /

Prolonged work in fixed postures often fatigues muscles and causes musculoskeletal disorders because muscles do not handle sustained contractions well, even at low intensity. Gravity exerts maximum torque on the shoulder and elbow when the upper and lower arms extend forward horizontally, as in repetitive tasks like drilling. Exoskeletons for Musculoskeletal Relief Despite increasing automation,
