Objective and subjective evaluation of the Paexo Back passive low-back exoskeleton (Wearable Technologies, 2023): 30 participants worked at three simulated logistics workplaces; heart rate, trunk inclination/acceleration, throughput, exertion and acceptance were recorded. Data are not publicly deposited; available from the corresponding author on request. Link goes to the paper.
