The Impact of Exoskeletons on the Work of Medical Professionals
The Institute of Mechatronics at the University of Innsbruck conducted a study to analyze the impact of exoskeletons on muscle activity and body kinematics during demanding physical tasks. One of the solutions tested was SoftExo Lift – an innovative exoskeleton designed to support the musculoskeletal system.
Muscle load reduction:
- SoftExo Lift reduced the activity of the erector spinae muscle (M. erector spinae) by 12.6% and the latissimus dorsi muscle (M. latissimus dorsi) by 12.8%, especially when lifting and lowering objects from the ground.
- The activity of the multifidus muscle (M. multifidus) was reduced by 8.1%, which significantly reduces the risk of back strain.

Improved ergonomics:
- SoftExo Lift effectively reduced the spine flexion by 9.3° when lifting from the floor, which led to relief of the lower back.
- The forces acting on the spine were reduced by up to 50%, improving user comfort and safety.

Application in medicine:
- The device supports ergonomics during long-term work in a standing or bent position, e.g. at operating tables or during diagnostic procedures.
Improved posture and reduced muscle fatigue allow doctors to maintain focus and precision throughout the working day.

Zastosowanie w medycynie:
- Urządzenie wspiera ergonomię podczas długotrwałej pracy w pozycji stojącej lub pochylonej, np. przy stołach operacyjnych czy podczas zabiegów diagnostycznych.
- Poprawa postawy i redukcja zmęczenia mięśniowego pozwala lekarzom utrzymać skupienie i precyzję przez cały dzień pracy.
The SoftExo Lift exoskeleton is a groundbreaking tool in improving work ergonomics in the medical environment. Research results from the University of Innsbruck indicate significant benefits for both the health and efficiency of medical professionals, making this solution an indispensable support in everyday practice.
What do practitioners say about our solution?
"The first assumption gives the impression of limited mobility, but nothing could be further from the truth. The exoskeleton forces the body to maintain a correct posture in every position and eliminates the possibility of forgetting to maintain it. It relieves the lumbar and thoracic sections, and the load is transferred to the lower limbs. It will be used by people with discopathy, as a necessary aid in exacerbation of symptoms, as a preventive measure at work or the need to remain in a bent position, but also by people after discectomy or stabilization procedures to eliminate chronic symptoms or as an aid in rehabilitation. Working even for 2 hours in the exoskeleton becomes much easier, and with more frequent use, we simply feel that our spine has the opportunity to rest and regenerate. I recommend it to people who have been through serious things and to those who simply prefer prevention than cure."

I had the opportunity to test this exoskeleton during my surgical work and it is an extremely promising solution. The exoskeleton effectively helps relieve this section, which reduces muscle tension and reduces the risk of pain or overload injuries to the spine. The benefits of using such a solution include improved ergonomics, which translates into greater precision and comfort during procedures. In addition, the doctor can maintain focus and efficiency for longer, which is crucial in work requiring high precision. In the long term, the exoskeleton can also prevent chronic spinal problems, such as discopathy or pain syndromes, which allows maintaining full professional efficiency for many years. The way it is made and used does not interfere during work, whether in a sitting or standing position. There is no need to take it off when, for example, we want to change the working position. Its relatively small size allows it to be worn under outerwear, which makes it comfortable to work with the patient in many possible scenarios."
