This mandate aims to evaluate the impact of a full‑body exoskeleton in a clinical setting for individuals living with low back pain. The goal is to understand how pain affects their functional movements and to identify the joints that would benefit most from targeted robotic assistance during rehabilitation. Based on these biomechanical insights, the goal is to develop guidelines to optimize exoskeleton use and activation strategies in clinical practice.
