A 2-D model of the protective passive exoskeleton with torsion and tension-compression springs is proposed. The exoskeleton links are of variable lengths. The link consists of a weightless variable-length section with a tension-compression spring in its centre, and the two weighty sections of the constant lengths at the ends of the link. A torsion spring is installed in each hinge that ensures relative rotation of the links. The results of the numerical solution of the Cauchy problem are presented when an agricultural worker moves in a passive exoskeleton with spring elements of two types and when he performs agricultural work associated with increased physical loads.
