| Popis: | Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are a major health issue, but there is little research to show whether active lumbar exoskeletons are suitable for single-shoulder load. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of wearable lumbar support exoskeleton with single-shoulder load on movement of the lumbar and thoracic spine and plantar pressure. The experiment was conducted considering ten healthy male young adults. Data about three-dimensional motion angles of the lumbar and thoracic spine, as well as plantar pressure, were collected in the control condition (0% of body weight: 0% BW), experimental condition A (single-shoulder load: 5% BW and 10% BW), and experimental condition B (single-shoulder load and left lateral traction: 5% BW-T and 10% BW-T). The two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted with device and weight as within subject factors. The level of statistical significance was set at p |
