N2 - The aim of this study was to assess functional performance and user satisfaction of workers with and without a history of low-back pain (LBP) when wearing a SPEXOR passive trunk exoskeleton. Twenty-four male participants, including 18 workers from load-handling professions, participated in this study. We allocated 13 individuals to a LBP group and 11 to a healthy group for subgroup analysis.
