Back-supporting Exoskeletons for Warehouse Order Picking
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a wearable back-support device (exoskeleton) helps warehouse workers pick and pack orders more safely and comfortably. Researchers will compare workers using the device to those doing their usual work, tracking pain, injury, and productivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You work full-time in a warehouse order-picking role
- You have no major pain or injuries that limit your current work
- Your body measurements allow you to properly wear the exoskeleton
- You plan to stay in your current department for the entire study period (typically several months)
- You are not pregnant and do not expect extended unpaid leave during the study (regular vacation is okay)
