Interview with Prof. Dupeyron on MSDs and exoskeletons

Many professionals, regardless of their industry, suffer from physical disorders and pain generally observed in the back, neck, shoulders, and arms. Designed with a human-centered approach, the HAPO range of exoskeletons represents a significant advancement in the prevention of these musculoskeletal disorders. By providing targeted and ergonomic support for areas of the body at risk or affected by pain, they help reduce their occurrence, deterioration, and improve the well-being of workers.

Reduction of pain
by decreasing muscle tension

Risk Prevention
through appropriate postural and muscular support

Improvement of quality of life at work
by reducing perceived fatigue
