Back-support exoskeletons have been recently proposed to reduce the risk of injuries for workers performing repetitive lifting tasks. Appropriate standards for their evaluation do not exist, but their definition would promote large-scale adoption in workplaces. This paper presents relevant standards and evaluation metrics as applied to similar devices and discusses their applicability to back-support exoskeletons, with the final goal to propose a reference methodology.

Abstract
Back-support exoskeletons have been recently proposed to reduce the risk of injuries for workers performing repetitive lifting tasks. Appropriate standards for their evaluation do not exist, but their definition would promote large-scale adoption in workplaces. This paper presents relevant standards and evaluation metrics as applied to similar devices and discusses their applicability to back-support exoskeletons, with the final goal to propose a reference methodology.File in questo prodotto:
