Farmers, livestock breeders, and environmental professionals engage in physically demanding tasks that, over time, contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Activities such as bending and twisting the back, prolonged crouching or bending, pulling, planting, cleaning, handling heavy loads, and repetitive arm movements during animal milking place significant strain on the back, shoulders, and joints. Additionally, exposure to harsh weather conditions and maintaining static positions further heighten the risk of MSDs.
Work stoppages due to these issues can threaten the financial stability of their operations. Exoskeletons provide an innovative and effective solution to address these health and well-being challenges, helping to reduce the risk of injury and improve overall workplace comfort.
Hapo has developed a range of exoskeletons specifically designed to target the areas most affected by musculoskeletal disorders, including the shoulders, back, and neck. These solutions are tailored to prevent muscle pain and reduce the risk of conditions such as lower back pain, tendinitis, and neck discomfort.
Susceptible to issues of back pain and tension, risk of lower back pain, sciatica, and herniated discs.
Susceptible to pain and tension in the shoulders and arms, risk of tendinitis and rotator cuff problems.

The annual cost of MSDs for companies in the agri-food sector amounts to more than 77 million euros (ameli.fr).
Hapo has developed a comprehensive range of mechanical exoskeletons designed to address postural risk factors and prevent the onset or progression of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace. To optimize their effectiveness while respecting the body's natural movements, each exoskeleton is tailored to support specific postures and target key areas of the body.

"Indeed, the fact of doing these repetitive gestures all day, I already feel the difference after 15 days. 'To try it is to adopt it' "
Romain V., beekeeper
" The times when we don't wear the exoskeleton, we realize that in the evening we notice the difference compared to the days when we did wear the exoskeleton. That's really the difference. "
