We worked with Ramirent to assess physical load during Scaffold Assembly and Disassembly with and without an Exoskeleton. Brief findings with our ErgoAnalysis™ below.
Scaffold pictured above is unrelated to the case.
Exoskeleton was more efficient help in the assembly phase
The benefit of exoskeleton was particularly high while lifting in horizontal plane
During assembly the exoskeleton also provided improvement of microbreaks
Disassembly especially had increased right forearm muscle load while using exoskeleton
To read the final analysis with specific percentages, note that you need to log in, after that the document is available on our Ergonomics Resources page. We also have more articles and resources coming soon.
The used exoskeleton was Ottobock Paexo Shoulder.
