abstract = "To examine the physical load at the waist of a care worker when shifting the position of a patient in with and without a wearable robot (Muscle Suit), we measured observer's caring posture during the task. Using Muscle Suit may reduce risk of backache. In the result, it is suggested that there is a possibility to reduce the risk of low back pain for care worker in daily task.",
