Biomechanical evaluation of the Apogee active back-support exoskeleton (Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2025): 16 participants lifted boxes at two speeds across four support conditions while EMG and 3D motion capture were recorded. Data are not deposited in a public repository; available from the corresponding author on request. Link goes to the paper.
