Practitioner Summary:
Noting differences in active and passive lumbar contributions to trunk extension moment across harvesting postures and ground slopes, this study examined whether a back-support exosuit reduces tissue loads and suggests the exosuit can effectively reduce lumbar muscle activity during kneeling/squatting and passive moment during stooping, with consistent effects across slopes.
