Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this investigation, participants perform simulated occupational work during which the task performance will be logged. This research investigates the effect of peripheral fatigue and a passive shoulder exoskeleton on the task performance.
Study Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Allocation
- Randomized
- Intervention Model
- Crossover
- Primary Purpose
- Prevention
- Masking
- Single (Participant)
Masking Description
The support of the exoskeleton is concealed. The support will be 'no support' or 'support'.
