本综述的目的是提供专门为工业目的开发的辅助外骨骼的概述，并评估这些外骨骼在减少身体负荷方面的潜在影响。搜索的结果是40篇论文，描述了26种不同的工业外骨骼，其中19种是主动的(致动的)，7篇是被动的(非致动的)。对于13个外骨骼，已经评估了对身体负荷的影响，主要是根据肌肉活动。所有被找回的被动外骨骼都是为了支撑下背部。据报道，在动态提举和静态保持过程中，背部肌肉活动减少了1040%。下半身、躯干和上半身区域都可以受益于活跃的外骨骼。据报道，肌肉活动减少高达80%是外骨骼活跃的结果。外骨骼有可能大大减少与工作相关的肌肉骨骼损伤的潜在因素。
The aim of this review was to provide an overview of assistive exoskeletons that have specifically been developed for industrial purposes and to assess the potential effect of these exoskeletons on reduction of physical loading on the body. The search resulted in 40 papers describing 26 different industrial exoskeletons, of which 19 were active (actuated) and 7 were passive (non-actuated). For 13 exoskeletons, the effect on physical loading have been evaluated, mainly in terms of muscle activity. All passive exoskeletons retrieved were aimed to support the low back. Ten-forty per cent reductions in back muscle activity during dynamic lifting and static holding have been reported. Both lower body, trunk and upper body regions could benefit from active exoskeletons. Muscle activity reductions up to 80% have been reported as an effect of active exoskeletons. Exoskeletons have the potential to considerably reduce the underlying factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal injury.
