Abstract

Exoskeletons are technologies that are constantly developed to be used in different areas to reduce pain and periodic deformation felt under heavy loads. A great number of researchers and technology companies have been working on developing exoskeleton systems that augment human mobility to achieve several benefits in human life. This study includes current studies of passive exoskeletons which are specifically tested. The effects of passive exoskeleton systems reducing the load on the spine have been investigated for various lifting positions. In addition, reducing the biomechanical loads affecting the user's joints, muscles and soft tissues have been mentioned. In the conclusions section, the importance of researchers from the different branches to work on exoskeleton technology is emphasized.
