背部支撑外骨骼 (BSE) 是一种可穿戴系统，旨在减少背部的物理需求，但可能会产生超出设计意图的不良影响。参与者 (n 1/4 18) 使用两个商业 BSE 在不同条件下完成简短（类似于 15-20 秒）的模拟手动组装任务，结果测量包括：工作姿势、“次要”肌肉群（肩膀和大腿）的活动水平、感知平衡、不适感和可用性。使用疯牛病会导致工作姿势发生微小且不一致的变化（例如，
Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are wearable systems designed to reduce physical demands on the back, but which could have undesired effects beyond this design intention. Participants (n 1/4 18) used two commercial BSEs to complete a brief (similar to 15-20 s) simulated manual assembly task in varying conditions, with outcome measures that included: working posture, activity levels in "secondary" muscle groups (shoulders and thighs), perceived balance, discomfort, and usability. Using a BSE led to small and inconsistent changes in working postures (e.g.,
