See the technical phrasing
A single upper-body exoskeleton system can feasibly provide coordinated active-passive assistance at the shoulder and lumbar regions through integration of an active double-parallelogram cable-driven shoulder unit and a passive spring-loaded four-bar linkage for lumbar support, while maintaining kinematic compatibility with human movement during overhead lifting tasks.
