Tested

Tested the difference of total lifts, good lifts, bad lifts, V02, and steps of three lettuce field workers with a back support exoskeletons vs without a back support exoskeleton.

​

Results

• VO2 per lift with support was -25%

• Total number of lifts with support was +60%

• Ratio of good lifts with support was +85%

• Total number of steps was +70%

 

Bottom Line

Exoskeleton reduced metabolic cost, enhanced lifting form,

and increased productivity.
