Back problems are one of the biggest physical cause of absenteeism and working in a bend forward posture is unavoidable in a lot of professions, for example in Hospitals and warehouses environments.
This Regular exposure to demanding postures increased the risk of back pain, which severely reduces the pleasure people have in their work.
Unfortunately, lower back pain is very common and repeated lifting off as little as 5 kg increases risk. In the UK back problems cause 7.3 million absence a day, with back problems lasting more than 3 months.
The Laevo Exoskeleton is a unique exoskeleton, a wearable back support that supports users while working in a bend forward posture or lifting objects.

What makes the Laevo Exoskeleton unique is its patented, flexible structure. This provides support while still allowing the user to walk around and move their upper body.
Aside from this physical effects, the Laevo Exoskeleton also improved awareness of the user with regards to their posture. In combination with the ‘smart hinge’, the supported user can bend all the way to the ground.
It is the combination of the reduced physical strain and increased mental awareness that provides such an improvement to both the long-term employability and the enjoyment of the user.
