In addition, the backward tilt can cause severe strain on the neck muscles. In the long term, such activities can lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Around a quarter (23.2 %) of days of incapacity for work in Germany are due to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs, as of 2013).

There is a proven direct link between overhead work and musculoskeletal disorders. The physical relief provided by exoskeletons can contribute to a reduction in work-related health risks, lost working hours and accidents.
