Efficacy of a Passive Lower Limb Exoskeleton in Reducing Plantar Pressure and Injuries From Prolonged Standing

"Participants used a passive lower-limb exoskeleton (Chairless Chair® 2.0) during their regular work tasks involving prolonged standing. The device enables a semi-seated posture without the need for external power, aiming to reduce lower limb strain.~The intervention involved each participant performing their typical standing tasks once with the exoskeleton and once without it, in a within-subject repeated-measures design. Each participant served as their own control.~Objective data were collected using a plantar pressure platform (Podoprint S4, Namrol) to measure:~Plantar pressure distribution~Postural stability~Body sway"
