Wearable Robotic Devices![Exoskeletons] Use in the Workplace: Enhancing Worker Safety and Performance.
Introduction. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) pose a significant challenge in occupational health and safety. These conditions result from repetitive movements, heavy lifting, and prolonged physical strain. To address this issue, industrial exoskeletons have emerged as a promising solution. In this blog post, we delve into the world of exoskeletons, exploring their benefits, challenges, and real-world applications. What Are Exoskeletons? Exoskeletons are wearable robotic devices designed to assist workers during strenuous and physically demanding tasks. These devices can be worn like a suit or harness, providing support to specific body parts. By redistributing the load and reducing strain, exoskeletons enhance both worker comfort and overall safety. Benefits of Exoskeletons 1. Reduced Risk of Injuries: Exoskeletons help prevent musculoskeletal injuries by supporting the body during activities such as lifting, bending, and repetitive motions. They act ...
