摘要

The present disclosure relates to an exoskeleton system to be worn by a user. The system includes a load carriage arrangement configured to carry an applied load. The load carriage arrangement includes a frame, for example a frame for a backpack, and at least one non-rigid member. The at least one-non rigid member is arranged to transfer at least a first part of the applied load carried by the load carriage arrangement to the ground bypassing the user's musculoskeletal system. The system may further include a load sharing arrangement configured to transfer a second part of the applied load to the user's musculoskeletal system.
