DEVICE

Placebo LiftSuit Exoskeleton

The LiftSuit is a soft passive wearable device that is designed to support the hip and back muscles during forward leaning and lifting. It exerts it function through Elastic Energy Storages (EES). In this condition the EES are removed from the device to create a placebo device.

DEVICE

LiftSuit Exoskeleton (low support level)

The LiftSuit is a soft passive wearable device that is designed to support the hip and back muscles during forward leaning and lifting. It exerts it function through Elastic Energy Storages (EES). EES of different three different levels of stiffness (low, medium, high stiffness) will be used.

DEVICE

LiftSuit Exoskeleton (medium support level)

The LiftSuit is a soft passive wearable device that is designed to support the hip and back muscles during forward leaning and lifting. It exerts it function through Elastic Energy Storages (EES). EES of different three different levels of stiffness (low, medium, high stiffness) will be used.

DEVICE

LiftSuit Exoskeleton (high support level)

The LiftSuit is a soft passive wearable device that is designed to support the hip and back muscles during forward leaning and lifting. It exerts it function through Elastic Energy Storages (EES). EES of different three different levels of stiffness (low, medium, high stiffness) will be used.
