Exoskeletons adapted for market gardeners

Exoskeletons adapted for market gardeners

Market gardeners practice a demanding profession, combining manual labor and technical operations to cultivate fruits and vegetables.

Repetitive actions during sowing, transplanting, watering, and harvesting

Carrying heavy loads, such as crates filled with vegetables, bags of potting soil, or farming tools.

Prolonged crouching or bending postures.

These tasks put significant strain on the back, shoulders, and arms, leading to considerable muscle fatigue and increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Wearing an exoskeleton is an innovative solution to prevent their occurrence.
