A Smart, Textile-Driven, Soft Exosuit for Spinal Assistance
Sensors, 2023 Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are often caused by repetitive lifting, making them a significant concern in occupational health. Although wearable assist devices have become the norm for mitigating the risk of back pain, most spinal assist devices still possess a partially rigid structure that impacts the user’s comfort and flexibility.

Investigation of the Stresses Exerted by an Exosuit of a Human Arm [PDF]
, 2020 If a wheelchair could be considered as a better solution than an exoskeleton for the mobility of people suffering from neuromuscular diseases, there is a relevance to use a soft wearable exoskeleton (or exosuit) to assist the upper limbs in order to perform daily tasks such as having a drink, a pencil.
