11. A comparative study to explore the advantages of passive exoskeletons by monitoring the muscle activity of workers
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för elektroteknik, matematik och naturvetenskapAbstract : Manufacturing and construction workers undertake physically strenuous activities increasing the risk of health problems, disability, and sick leave, leading to lower job attractiveness and job candidate scarcity. In the EU, up to 44 million workers are affected by workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), representing a total annual cost of more than €240 billion. READ MORE
