Abstract [sv]

Work-related musculoskeletal injuries and disorders are still very common problems in the construction industry. A technology that might have potential to reduce the physical demands and fatigue experienced by construction workers are exoskeletons, a wearable device that provides assistance to the user. However, as of today, it is still unusual to find any exoskeleton users within the construction industry. Hence, it cannot be considered implemented in the industry for various reasons. This study presents, through both a qualitative and quantitative method, the exoskeletons usability in the construction industry. The former method consisting of physical tryouts with a passive exoskeleton for overhead work by workers at construction sites. While the latter method being a survey about the users experience with the specific exoskeleton in question. Even though some uncertainties were found regarding the exoskeleton’s usability, the outcome was mostly positive and in line with the theoretical analysis.
