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
Fatigue, discomfort, or pain caused by standing professional activities are mainly concentrated in three areas of the body:
Back pain, potential signs of lumbago, sciatica, or hernia
Pain in the shoulders and arms, often associated with tendonitis and rotator cuff problems
Neck and upper body pain, potential signs of cervicalgia
Musculoskeletal disorders are a source of:
occupational diseases in France*
reasons for work stoppage*
lost workdays*

Hapo has therefore developed a range of exoskeletons targeted and adapted to the parts of the body most affected by musculoskeletal disorders, which are the shoulders, back, and neck. The different Hapo solutions aim to prevent muscle pain and the risks of conditions such as lower back pain, tendinitis, or neck pain.
Suitable for issues of back pain and tension, risks of lower back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc
Suitable for issues of pain and tension in the shoulders and arms, risks of tendinitis and rotator cuff problems
Suitable for neck and shoulder pain and tension issues, and the risk of cervicalgia
