The Paexo exoskeleton assists employees in production and trades during strenuous activities, in particular overhead work. The weight of the raised arms is transferred to the hips with the help of mechanical cables ans springs. This provides noticeable relief for the muscles and joints in the shoulder region. Overhead activities are much more comfortable to perform.
Paexo is a passive exoskeleton that does not need an energy supply. That makes it very lightweight. It is worn close to the body, similar to a backpack, while enabling complete freedom of movement. That is because Paexo's design is based on natural human movements.
