ErgoX: Debate - Are Exoskeletons a Viable Occupational Intervention
DescriptionExoskeletons designed to relieve musculoskeletal stress during work have evolved rapidly over the past decade. Many organizations have tested these devices in the laboratory, and some have examined their efficacy under actual work conditions. Yet, much remains unknown about these devices' cost-benefit tradeoffs. The literature reports a broad spectrum of analysis approaches, ranging from worker/study participant subjective impressions to quantitative biomechanical assessments of how users interact with the devices. The debate will provide a unique experience to discuss the pros and cons of exoskeletons as an occupational intervention.
