The occurrence of muscle injuries due, for instance, to repetitive or physically exhaustive work are increasingly common. This study aims to investigate the influence of nanocellulose impregnation on the reinforcement a textile material that has already provided good results in previous studies. The fabric impregnated with nanocellulose is an intelligent textile that will be incorporated into a t-shirt, to create new personal protective equipment (PPE), that intends to prevent and mitigate the effects of workrelated musculoskeletal injuries to the spine, namely low back pain. The correlation of the results obtained with the results from an earlier study will be fundamental for the advancement of the project.
