The Auxivo LiftSuit functions as an external set of back muscles while lifting or leaning forward. In the RELab Homelab we can capture changes in muscle activity using electromyography sensors and changes in movement with a 3D camera system (as seen in the picture). Exoskeletons like the LiftSuit can play an important role in protection the health of people with physically demanding jobs.

Mathilde Lestoille is a post-doctoral researcher, working both at the RELab and at the cereneo foundation - Center for Interdisciplinary Research. Her research takes part in the StimuLOOP project, which aims at investigating new approaches to precision neurorehabilitation of gait quality, in stroke and Parkinson patients.
