Qu'est-ce qu'une sciatique ?

La sciatique correspond à une douleur liée à l'irritation ou à la compression du nerf sciatique. Elle se manifeste souvent par une douleur lombaire qui descend dans la fesse, la cuisse, voire la jambe, parfois accompagnée de fourmillements ou de sensations de décharge électrique.

Quels liens existent entre sciatique et travail physique ?

Les ports de charges, les flexions répétées du buste, les torsions du dos, les postures statiques prolongées ou les vibrations peuvent favoriser l'apparition de sciatiques. De nombreux métiers exposent ainsi les salariés à un risque accru de douleurs sciatiques.

Un exosquelette peut-il aider à prévenir les douleurs sciatiques ?

Un exosquelette lombaire Hapo réduit les contraintes exercées sur la colonne et les disques intervertébraux grâce à un soutien du bas du dos. En limitant les efforts excessifs et les postures à risque, il contribue à la prévention des douleurs sciatiques dans le cadre d'une démarche globale de prévention.

L’exosquelette Hapo soigne-t-il une sciatique déjà présente ?

Un exosquelette ne remplace jamais un avis médical ni un traitement. Hapo s’inscrit dans une logique de prévention et d’aménagement du poste. En cas de sciatique déclarée, seul un professionnel de santé peut décider des solutions adaptées et de l’éventuelle utilisation d’un exosquelette.

Comment un exosquelette agit-il sur les contraintes au niveau du nerf sciatique ?

En soutenant la région lombaire et en redistribuant une partie des efforts vers les hanches et les membres inférieurs, l’exosquelette Hapo limite les flexions extrêmes et les charges qui s’exercent sur la colonne. Cette diminution des contraintes peut réduire certains facteurs mécaniques favorisant les douleurs sciatiques.

Dans quels métiers un exosquelette pour la prévention de la sciatique est-il pertinent ?

Les exosquelettes Hapo sont particulièrement pertinents dans les métiers de la manutention, de la logistique, de l’industrie, du BTP, de l’agriculture ou de l’aide à la personne, où les flexions répétées, les ports de charge et les positions penchées prolongées exposent le bas du dos.

Les exosquelettes Hapo sont-ils motorisés ?

Les exosquelettes Hapo sont des exosquelettes passifs, sans moteur ni batterie. Leur fonctionnement repose sur des systèmes mécaniques de restitution d’énergie qui soulagent le dos sans gêner les déplacements ni le geste professionnel.

Un exosquelette de prévention sciatique limite-t-il la mobilité ?

Les exosquelettes Hapo sont conçus pour préserver la liberté de mouvement. L’utilisateur peut marcher, se pencher ou s’accroupir. Certains modèles permettent même de moduler l’assistance ou de la désactiver temporairement selon la tâche à réaliser.

Comment choisir un exosquelette adapté à la prévention des sciatiques ?

Le choix dépend des situations de travail, de la fréquence des flexions, des charges manipulées et des symptômes déclarés. Hapo propose une évaluation en ligne et l’accompagnement de ses experts pour analyser les postes et recommander le modèle le plus adapté.

Existe-t-il des outils Hapo pour analyser le risque de sciatique sur un poste de travail ?

Oui. L’application Hapo LEA permet de réaliser des analyses posturales en conditions réelles. Elle identifie les postures à risque pour la région lombaire et fournit des données objectives pour documenter l’intérêt d’un exosquelette dans la prévention des douleurs sciatiques.

Exoskeletons adapted for wine merchants and brewers

Passionate about their profession, wine merchants and brewers dedicate a lot of energy every day to demanding tasks.

They handle heavy loads, work in humid environments, and adopt strenuous postures: squatting, bending, or with a curved back.

These physical, repetitive, and prolonged activities put a lot of strain on the back. These artisanal professions, practiced with commitment and precision, frequently expose workers to physical wear and tear, especially during periods of intense activity like harvests or brewing sessions.

The use of an exoskeleton allows for lasting relief from these physical efforts.

The problems of brewers and wine merchants

The activity of brewers and wine merchants is often a source of fatigue and back pain.
