• Description:
  The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a back-support exoskeleton (Laevo V2.5) on the trunk and hip angles, low back muscle activity, and heart rate during in-bed patient handling tasks. Eight participants (5 males and 3 females) performed four different in-bed patient handling tasks, including sitting to lying, repositioning toward the caregiver, turning toward the caregiver, and turning away from the caregiver.
