摘要

与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSDs）一直是医护人员关注的问题，影响着他们的健康和患者的安全。作为一种针对 WMSDs 的人体工学干预措施，外骨骼技术受到越来越多的关注。本范围综述探讨了外骨骼对医护人员WMSDs的影响。通过全面检索，我们发现了 2013 年至 2023 年间发表的 9 项符合条件的英文研究。外骨骼在客观测量方面显示出了良好的效果，可以根据任务选择性地减少肌肉激活。它们还改善了特定场景中的用力情况和身体姿势参数。主观方面，外骨骼减少了不适、疼痛和疲劳，并以可接受的可用性获得了积极的评价。然而，外骨骼对感知用力的影响因任务而异。虽然外骨骼在提高医护人员的福祉和工作表现方面已显示出潜力，但还需要做更多的工作来完善其有效性，并在不同的医疗环境中实现效益最大化。研究表明，需要采用标准化的方法、考虑参与者的特点并优化外骨骼的设计。

Effect of exoskeleton devices on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among healthcare workers: a scoping review.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have been a concern among healthcare workers, impacting their well-being and patient safety. Exoskeleton technologies have gained a growing interest as an ergonomic intervention for WMSDs. This scoping review explores exoskeleton effects on WMSDs among healthcare workers. A comprehensive search identified 9 eligible studies published in English between 2013 and 2023. Exoskeletons showed promising effects on objective measures, selectively reducing muscle activation in a task-dependent manner. They also improved force exertion and body posture parameters in specific scenarios. Subjectively, exoskeletons reduced discomfort, pain, fatigue, and received positive perceptions with acceptable usability. However, the impact on perceived exertion varied with tasks. While exoskeletons have shown potential in enhancing healthcare workers' well-being and performance, more work is required to refine their effectiveness and maximise benefits in different healthcare settings. The study revealed the need for standardised methodologies, consideration of participant characteristics, and optimisation of exoskeleton design.

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
