Abstract

Many different types of beneficial exoskeletons have been developed in recent years. The majority of them are intended to lessen the likelihood of a variety of lumbar compression injuries and other types of ailments that workers may be subjected to when they are engaged in repetitive single-activity labour. Work-related muscular and skeletal disorders, often known as WMSDs, are the most prevalent type of muscular and skeletal disorder found in the working population. It is brought on by a single motion that is repeated over and over again. This condition of the muscular and skeletal system significantly lowers both the productivity and the happiness index of workers. In this study, recent research results from a variety of different research teams are presented, their research methods and research conclusions are analysed, and a discussion of the current and next research trends and directions pertaining to assistive exoskeletons is offered.

Keywords:
