    Stressful physical activities are main reason for back pain, shoulder lesions and disc damage. These are the three main reasons for disability. ""CareJack"", a smart soft orthosis presented in this article, represents a novel approach to improve the workplace situation through automated real-time ergonomic analysis and assessment in order to indicate unergonomic movements or body poses to the user. The system is based on integrated movement measurement sensors, intelligent real-time movement data analysis algorithms and an embedded vibration feedback module.
