Healthcare professionals, including nurses and nursing assistants, are among those most impacted by Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The primary causes are prolonged static postures, assisting with patient mobility, and supporting patients during caregiving tasks.
Doctors and surgeons are also at high risk for MSDs in the workplace. Depending on their specialties, they can experience discomfort and pain due to repetitive movements, prolonged awkward postures in the OR, and the strain associated with the precision required in their work.
Exoskeletons offer an innovative and effective solution to address these challenges by preventing pain and fatigue on a daily basis, while promoting long-term sustainability and well-being in the workplace.
Hapo has developed a range of exoskeletons specifically designed to target and support the areas of the body most impacted by musculoskeletal disorders, including the shoulders, back, and neck. These solutions are aimed at preventing muscle pain and reducing the risk of conditions such as lower back pain, tendinitis, and neck discomfort.

HAPO has developed a comprehensive range of mechanical exoskeletons designed to address postural risk factors and help prevent or mitigate the onset and progression of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace. Each exoskeleton is carefully engineered to target specific postures and areas of the body, ensuring maximum effectiveness while respecting the body's natural movements.
Users of our exoskeletons testify to the concrete benefits observed
Doctor 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."
Sylvie, caregiver (Gard)
"It eases the workload, making it less complicated. The mobilizations seem easier."
Dr. Pierre D., surgeon
"It works very well, we have no mechanical constraints... all gestures are possible without difficulty, and above all, we have a possibility and systematic mechanical support."
