Prévention de la hernie discale :
Exoskeletons, an innovative solution to keep your back healthy

A herniated disc is one of the main causes of lower back pain and sciatica. It can significantly affect the quality of life of those affected. This condition occurs due to the compression of intervertebral discs, leading to sometimes debilitating pain in the back and legs. A herniated disc primarily affects physically active workers. It is often caused by repetitive movements, heavy lifting, and prolonged poor posture. Exoskeletons provide an effective solution to prevent the onset or worsening of these risks by:

A reduction of pressure on the spine
through effective lumbar support

An improved posture even when prolonged
by constant postural and muscular support

Maximum security for risk-free use
through a design adapted to natural movements

Problems likely to cause herniated discs are present in many sectors of activity.

Hapo has therefore developed a range of exoskeletons targeted and adapted to the parts of the body most affected by musculoskeletal disorders, which are the shoulders, back, and neck. The different Hapo solutions are thus aimed at preventing muscle pain and the risks of conditions such as lower back pain, tendinitis, or neck pain.

The Hapo solution to prevent the risks of a herniated disc.

The HAPO exoskeletons are exclusively non-motorized ("passive") exoskeletons. They are distinguished by a human-centered approach and advanced technology to maximize their performance and user comfort.

The Hapo difference is based on:
An unmatched efficiency/comfort ratio thanks to springs that combine lightness with a high capacity for energy storage and return
Adaptable elasticity to reduce muscle strain while maintaining precision in movements
Maximized comfort due to the adaptability of the exoskeleton, which perfectly fits the body and its movements
