The profession of a blacksmith involves combining expertise and physical effort to transform metal with precision.
Handling heavy pieces, bending or leaning, and exerting intense efforts put a strain on the back, arms, and legs.
Repeating these actions in demanding postures leads to muscle tension and increases the risk of body wear and tear.
These repeated efforts can cause chronic pain and impact work performance.
The exoskeleton is an innovative solution to prevent these risks and improve workers' comfort on a daily basis.
The activity of blacksmiths is often a source of fatigue and pain in the back, shoulders, and arms.
