Soldiers that work in the field of explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) wear cumbersome personal protection equipment (PPE) that may cause pain and/or discomfort. This study evaluated the EOD suit that is commonly used by the U.S. military and law enforcement for shoulder discomfort and leg mobility restriction. Thirty-four college aged adults of varying athletic abilities were recruited to complete a test course and walk on a treadmill for 2 minutes while wearing the EOD 8. Shoulder and leg contact pressure between the human body and the EOD 8 were measured using pressure pads. Demographic information was collected before testing via a survey and qualitative observations were collected at the end of testing with a questionnaire. After each t...
