Description
Waldez Gomes and co-authors used vibrations from an exoskeleton to teach better posture in a 2025 study. Work exoskeletons usually cut effort by lifting for the user. That help does not teach the body safer poses, and strain harms build over years on the job.
Here the frame acts as a coach instead. Volunteers reached to hold a target that allowed many end poses. Buzz strength then grew or shrank with how sound the pose was, nudging users toward ergonomic forms without a word of instruction. The test asks whether such silent feedback can train posture. If so, frames could prevent harm, not just ease load.
