In the researchers' words
This quasi-experimental study evaluates the effectiveness of a passive lower-limb exoskeleton (Chairless Chair® 2.0) in redistributing plantar pressure and reducing injuries caused by prolonged standing in workplace settings. Conducted on 25 participants, the research measured plantar pressure, body sway, and postural stability with and without the exoskeleton using a pressure platform. Additionally, user fatigue and satisfaction were assessed through validated questionnaires (Borg CR10, QUEST 2.0). The results aim to determine the device's preventive potential regarding musculoskeletal and circulatory issues, contributing to improved ergonomic health and work performance.
