An artificial exoskeleton is a support structure worn on the body that relieves the musculoskeletal system during specific activities. This new posture sling is dedicated to relieving back strain and maintaining good posture, whether in full flexion or standing in a simple trunk flexion.
Thus, whatever the posture, HAPO reduces lumbar effort and preserves the intervertebral discs. Innovative, it partially transfers the efforts of the upper trunk in pectoral support to the thighs with the help of springs. As for the belt, it allows the lumbar vertebrae to be held without restraint. Its activation/deactivation mechanism offers great freedom of movement, such as sitting down, going up or down stairs. Efficient with an assistance power of 14 Kg it is currently the best cost / efficiency ratio in its category.
Prevent and relieve back pain simply by
Low back pain affects 4 out of 5 people and is also caused by difficult positions within the company: manual, repetitive handling, carrying heavy loads, difficult postures under stress, hard physical work.
