Abstract:
Occupational exoskeletons are rapidly advancing new technology. They are often recommended to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, but evidence of their effectiveness in this area remains limited. While awaiting the results of new research, occupational physicians, occupational nurses, and other occupational health specialists can use methodologies based not only on medical and scientific literature but also on their experience. These methodologies aim to analyze actual work conditions and workers' needs to optimize above all collective prevention focused on work organization, prior introducing exoskeletons if necessary.
