A study in Applied Ergonomics (vol. 139, Feb 2027) reports that wearing firefighter turnout gear reduces the ability to reach down for an object without flexing the spine, documenting the biomechanical constraint imposed by protective equipment.

Peer-reviewed biomechanics data on how protective clothing restricts a basic reaching motion, with potential relevance for designing task-specific gear and movement protocols in safety-critical work.
