BackX SuitX Industrial Back Exoskeleton - Reducing the Risk of Work-Related Back Injuries
backX has demonstrated the ability to reduce the load on the user's lower back (L5 / S1 disc) by an average of 60% when bending over, lifting objects, bending over or reaching out. Reducing the tension in the muscles of the lower back can reduce the compression force around the L5-S1 vertebra, which reduces the risk of back injuries and increases the user's endurance.

Even without the use of electronics, the backX is intelligent enough not to interfere with natural movement, allowing the user to perform most activities such as walking, climbing and descending stairs and driving work vehicles without restriction, supporting the user when they need it. majority.

“Research shows that the average muscle activity of the pectoral and psoas erector muscles among equal groups of men and women wearing the backX while maintaining a forward bend is reduced by 75% and 56%, respectively. Field evaluations show that wearing the backX minimizes the risk of back injuries for workers who constantly bend, squat and bend for a variety of tasks such as lifting objects. ”

FUNCTIONS
With its core support technology to reduce lumbar stress and the most comprehensive set of standard features in any back exoskeleton, backX is the leader in back support exoskeletons.
Two modes
Smart Mode: Provides maximum mobility while wearing the device, allowing the user to walk, climb and descend stairs and use work vehicles freely, while providing maximum protection when you need it most.

Instant Mode: Provides back support to the user in any position.

Easy
The device weighs 7.2 lbs / 3.2 kg.

One size fits most
One standard frame adjusts to suit a wide range of heights, chest depths and waist sizes.

Without batteries
The passive design provides increased reliability, lower costs and minimal maintenance.

Easy to maintain
Minimal maintenance required. The modular design allows for quick replacement of parts and components.

Comfortable
Soft, breathable harness and minimal contact points ensure maximum comfort.

Low profile
Designed for use in confined spaces.

Easy to put on and take off
It is extremely easy to get in and out of the device. Four quick disconnect couplings.

Compatible with standard equipment
Works with a tool belt and can be worn with reflective vests, Tyvek suits and work jackets.

Adjustable foot
The strength of the support can be quickly changed according to the user's requirements with the help of tools.

Three compatible modules
backX is compatible with shoulderX and legX. The modules can be combined into 7 different exoskeletons to provide a tailor-made solution for each task.

Lasting
Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

Two parts: seat belts and frame
The split frame and harness architecture allows multiple users to share the versatile frame, minimizing costs.

Significantly reduces back muscle strength
A recent study by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco found an average of 60% reduction in EMG muscle activity in four of the most injured lower back muscle groups.
The electrodes were placed on four groups of muscles that erect the spine, each of eight subjects, which were tested with and without wearing the back.
The graph shows a significant decrease in the activation of four muscle groups when subjects wore the BackX.
