Objective : This study empirically investigates the embodiment of occupational exoskeletons (OEs) through repeated use.
Background : OEs are wearable devices designed to assist operators movements. Their embodiment the phenomenon by which…

Understanding and analyzing the dynamics of the adoption process for professional exoskeletons, as a reflection of the quality of the interaction between the device and its user, makes it possible to define points of vigilance in terms of prevention…

Occupational exoskeletons hold promise in preventing musculoskeletal disorders, but their effectiveness relies on their long-term use by workers. This study aims to characterize the adoption process of occupational exoskeletons by analyzing…

Despite their potential to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), occupational exoskeletons are often abandoned by users over time. This retrospective study investigates the conditions that foster sustained use of such devices in the…

The fourth industrial revolution heralds the emergence of the Operator 4.0, characterized by the augmentation of physical, sensory or cognitive capabilities of workers. This transformation involves a shift from artificial and human agents…

Occupational exoskeletons represent a promising innovation to mitigate biomechanical risk factors leading to musculoskeletal disorders. However, their full potential will only be realized if operators sustain their use over time. Thus…
