Por esse motivo, os profissionais da Saúde e Segurança Ocupacionais facilmente não terão grandes conhecimentos sobre o assunto. Pretende-se com esta revisão assimilar o que de mais pertinente se publicou sobre o tema.  Metodologia Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em maio de 2024 nas bases de dados &#8220;CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP&#8221;.  Conteúdo Tratam-se de dispositivos que ajudam na aplicação de força a diversas articulações, reduzindo a carga de trabalho, auxiliando o desempenho das tarefas laborais, podendo até aumentar a probabilidade de este ser executado de forma mais correta e com menor risco de acidente. Ou seja, são acessórios robóticos que se ajustam ao corpo humano externamente, com o objetivo de potenciar a força, resistência e/ou mobilidade, atenuando o esforço e potenciando a resiliência. São divididos em ativos, passivos e semi-ativos. Os primeiros têm motores elétricos, hidráulicos e/ou pneumáticos e, não só apoiam o movimento humano, como podem acrescentar forças e potenciar o desempenho; ou seja, têm uma fonte de energia. Os passivos apoiam o movimento, armazenando a energia do mesmo, diminuindo a ativação muscular (ainda que também possa surgir o efeito oposto) e são mais usados na indústria; são mais leves e menos complexos. Os semi-ativos estão em situação intermédia.  Discussão e Conclusões Não restam dúvidas que, se a Inteligência Artificial não substituir massivamente os humanos dos postos de trabalho, estes serão auxiliados e potenciados pelo uso de exosqueletos, progressivamente aperfeiçoados e adaptados às necessidades. Seria muito interessante que as escassas instituições onde estes já existam, estudassem variáveis como alterações nos sintomas e patologias diagnosticadas, satisfação laboral, qualidade de vida, produtividade e custo-benefício, bem como eventuais riscos associados.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction/framework/objectives In our country, there are very few companies that are familiar with the concept of exoskeletons and even fewer that use them on a daily basis. For this reason, Occupational Health and Safety professionals will easily not have much knowledge on the subject. The aim of this review is to assimilate the most relevant information that has been published on the subject.  Methodology This is a Literature Review, initiated through a search carried out in May 2024 in the databases &#8220;CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP&#8221;.  Contents These are devices that help apply force to various joints, reducing the workload, aiding the performance of work tasks and may even increase the likelihood of it being performed more correctly and with a lower risk of accident. In other words, they are robotic acessories that adjust externally to the human body, with the aim of enhancing strength, resistance, resilience and/or mobility and reducing the effort. They are divided into active, passive and semi-active. The former have electric, hydraulic and/or pneumatic motors and not only support human movement, but can also add strength and enhance performance; in other words, they have an energy source. Passive devices support movement, storing its energy, reducing muscle activation (although the opposite effect may also occur) and are more commonly used in industry; they are lighter and less complex. Semi-active devices are in an intermediate situation.  Discussion and Conclusions There is no doubt that, if Artificial Intelligence does not massively replace humans in the workplace, they will be assisted and enhanced by the use of exoskeletons, progressively improved and adapted to needs. It would be very interesting if the few institutions where these already exist studied variables such as changes in symptoms and diagnosed pathologies, job satisfaction, quality of life, productivity and cost-benefit, as well as possible associated risks.]]></p></abstract>
