Kingma, B.R.M. (author), Koopmans, A.S. (author), de Looze, M.P. (author), van Dieen, J.H. (author)To evaluate the biomechanical effect of exoskeletons during lifting, three studies were performed to compare spine compression during lifting without and with three exoskeletons (Laevo, Robo-Mate, SPEXOR). In these studies, participants (11, 10 and 10, respectively) lifted boxes (10, 15 and 10 kg, respectively) from ankle height. Spine...bookPart 2022

Toxiri, S. (author), Koopmans, A.S. (author), Lazzaroni, M. (author), Ortiz, J. (author), Power, V. (author), de Looze, M.P. (author), O'Sullivan, L. (author), Caldwell, D.G. (author)The potential versatility of active exoskeletons is achieved by appropriately modulating their actuation forces. This is done by assistive strategies that interpret user’s movements and assistance needs during operation. This article shows how different strategies determine the effectiveness of an active back-support exoskeleton designed to...article 2019
