Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome is the difference in muscle activity, defined by the Amplitude of the EMG Signal, of the main Groups (lower extremities, trunk, upper extremities) between Performance with and without the industrial, wearable, assistive aid

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Biomechanical torque at low back Level (L5-S1 intervertebral Joint) will be estimated by biomechanical modelling based on ground reaction Forces and kinematics as secondary outcome. Further, the usability, perceived exertion and perceived pressure Points when wearing the industrial, assistive aid will be examined using a questionnaire.
