• Description:
  The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a back exoskeleton on joint kinematics and kinetics during assisted manual handling tasks using subject-specific musculoskeletal biodynamic models and model-based analyses. We constructed these musculoskeletal models using OpenSim (Delp et al., 2007), incorporating optical motion capture, ground reaction forces (GRFs) measurements, and humanexoskeleton interactive force input. Our long-term goal is to enable digital modeling and simulation that can aid in the design and development of more effective exoskeletons and safer manual handling practices.
