140 Chapter 5 Figure 10: Typical time series of the range of motion measurements. Three cases are illustrated (from the left to the right): Not wearing an exoskeleton, wearing an exoskeleton with a flexible spinal interface and an unlocked spinal slider configuration and wearing an exoskeleton with a rigid spinal interface and also unlocked slider configuration. In the last two panels additionally exoskeleton angles are shown. A decrease of peak trunk flexion angles from 143° to 127° to 102° is visible for the three configurations. The movements with the rigid exoskeleton were performed slower.
