Lower back pain, sometimes called lumbago or back pain, occurs in the lower back region. Lower back pain is not a disease but a symptom: it is characterized by pain generally due to soft tissue injuries such as muscles, ligaments, or tendons. While physical activity and ergonomic workplace arrangements are recommended to prevent the risk of lower back pain, they sometimes prove insufficient. Lumbar exoskeletons provide an effective solution to prevent their occurrence or worsening. Specifically designed to redistribute weight and loads to the hips and legs, they allow:
A reduction in muscular effort
which helps decrease the pressure on intervertebral discs
An improvement in posture
through postural support from localized pressures on the body
Injury prevention
by reducing the physical effort required during repetitive movements
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 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. They help prevent risks that may promote the onset of lower back pain by relieving the body during repetitive movements, heavy lifting, and strenuous postures.
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 respecting natural movement and gestures
Maximized comfort thanks to the adaptability of the exoskeleton that perfectly fits the back.
