- •
A study was performed to assess the muscular effects of upper-limb orthotic weight.
- •
Three device weight distributions were simulated in an activity of daily living.
- •
Four shoulder/elbow muscles were monitored using surface electromyography.
- •
Device weight distribution was found to impact muscle loading, perceived exertion, and performance.
