Despite advances in wearable robots across various fields, there is no consensus on the definition or design framework for wearable robots for military rehabilitation applications or musculoskeletal (MSK) injury prevention. To address this gap, a modified Delphi method was conducted, involving a steering group and 14 panelists with over 10 years of expertise in wearable robots. Upon reaching an agreement, the committee defined wearable robots for military rehabilitation and MSK injury prevention, categorizing them into the following three main applications: (1) primary and secondary MSK injury prevention, (2) the enhancement of military activities and tasks, and (3) rehabilitation and reintegration. The committee also identified health outcomes, assessment tools, and design requirements for future advancements. View this paper
