Abstract
This bachelor integration project researches the possibility of using mechanical metamaterials in a passive ex- oskeleton worn by ambulance personnel and nurses to alleviate spinal load. Currently this exoskeleton uses elastic rubber bands as shoulder straps that exert excessive load onto the spine. Mechanical metamaterial structures, in specific auxetics, are a promising solution to redistribute the load thus bringing it below the level of excessive load.
