First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether wearing a back-support exoskeleton (a wearable frame) during warehouse work can reduce back pain and sick leave over 18 months. About 90 full-time workers in a Danish warehouse will take part. One group wears the exoskeleton while picking orders, and the other works as usual. Researchers will track pain, productivity, and how well workers accept the device.
