Abstract

Development and use of exoskeletons worldwide have fostered many applications aimed at occupational health care and safety in multiple areas of industry, including the military. This article presents a systematic review of advances in exoskeletons used for various tasks performed by military personnel. In addition, a systematic review of scientific literature obtained from multidisciplinary bases and the field of occupational health has been carried out. Various technologies and exoskeleton designs assist in specific areas of the body where exertion can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Exoskeletons provide additional torque to multiple joints decreasing physical fatigue and increasing performance in physically demanding tasks. Most exoskeletons used in the military employ electric actuators and have been developed for the hip and knee region.
