В выборке из 566 работ, связанных с применением пассивных индустриальных экзоскелетов спины и нижних конечностей, используется ограниченное число физиологических методов. Наиболее часто (~56%) применяется электромиография. В большинстве случаев смысл применения физиологических методов концептуально связан с оценкой снижения нагрузки на мышцы, изучением параметров двигательной активности у человека в экзоскелете. Малоиспользуемым направлением остается изучение центральных влияний, обусловленных применением данного типа устройств.

A limited number of physiological methods are used in a sample of 566 studies related to the use of passive industrial exoskeletons of the back and lower extremities. Electromyography is used most often (~56%). In most cases, the meaning of using physiological methods is conceptually related to the assessment of reducing the load on the muscles, studying the parameters of motor activity in a person in an exoskeleton. The study of the gentral influences caused by the use of this type of device remains a little-used direction.
