Abstract
In the industrial field, overhead works are one of the leading causes of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs). These disorders not only pose a significant health risk to workers but, also, negatively impact industrial productivity. It has been observed that, in Europe, absenteeism rates in industries caused by WMSDs, exceed those due to the influenza virus. Both these aspects, in view of the advancements of Industry 4.0, represent an issue to which a solution must be found to ensure greater workers safety. A promising solution to mitigate these risks is provided by exoskeletons for industrial use, which are electromechanical devices worn by operators and designed around the shape and function of the human body.
Their purpose is to assist workers by enhancing operational capacity and reducing physical effort
