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.
期刊介绍：
Ahora que el fenómeno de la disciplinarización institucional está cada vez más marcado, Athenea Digital promueve la reflexión interdisciplinar en la tradición de las ciencias humanas y sociales. La revista aborda los fenómenos sociales contemporáneos en sus múltiples dimensiones (política, económica, cultural, comunicacional...) y valora la reflexión rigurosa sobre la articulación entre los diferentes dominios de la actividad humana. El principal objetivo de la revista es potenciar el diálogo y la innovación en los estudios sociales y culturales.
