Abstract:This paper proposes a modular protocol for the designing of experimental studies to analyze exoskeletons used in industrial settings to support manual material handling (MMH). Despite exoskeleton technologies starting to be highly commercialized and present in workplaces, research still lacks a standardized procedure for analyzing the impact of these devices on workers. The protocol presented in this paper outlines a step-by-step procedure, including the parameters to be collected and analyzed in a research st… Show more
