Exoskeleton: prevent and relieve arm and shoulder pain

Exoskeleton: prevent and relieve arm and shoulder pain

Repetitive motions, as well as working with arms raised or extended in front of the body, place significant strain on the muscles of the arms and shoulders. 

This strain can lead to fatigue, pain, and the development of musculoskeletal disorders, including conditions such as tendinitis or rotator cuff injuries. 

Exoskeletons now offer an effective solution to prevent these issues, helping to preserve both comfort and quality of life in the workplace.

Reduction of muscle fatigue
by minimizing strain on the upper body muscles

Injury Prevention
through reduced risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) during repetitive tasks

Improvement of quality of life at work
by alleviating pain caused by prolonged forward and overhead arm postures

Users of our exoskeletons testify to the concrete benefits observed

Surgeon

Daniel A. (Le Mans)

"It's true that it's something that really relieves the shoulders a lot, because it ultimately allows for assistance with shoulder abduction."

Urologist

"A device that I have been testing for 15 days, I can't do without it anymore"
