A Musculoskeletal Human Model-Based Approach for Evaluating Support Concepts of Exoskeletons for Selected Use Cases

Abstract This paper presents an approach for evaluating exoskeleton support concepts through biomechanical analyses on a musculoskeletal human model. By simplifying the forces of as external forces, different can be biomechanically evaluated respective use case without concrete design specifications exoskeleton. enables estimation resulting relief and strain body in early stages development. To present approach, working at above head height with power tool is chosen.
