Exoskeletons adapted for winegrowers

Exoskeletons adapted for winegrowers

The profession of a winemaker, both fascinating and demanding, requires physical and technical operations to cultivate and maintain the vines.

Strenuous postures when squatting or bending to access the vine stocks.

Repetitive gestures during winter pruning, spring thinning, and manual harvesting.

Carrying heavy loads, such as buckets of grapes and full crates.

These tasks intensely strain the back, shoulders, and arms, leading to increased muscle fatigue and a higher risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Wearing an exoskeleton is an innovative solution to address these risks.

MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders) therefore manifest in the daily lives of winegrowers as back, shoulder, arm, and elbow pain.
