FAQ

For a healthy back, it is important to maintain physical and professional activity. However, the handling of loads, excessive or prolonged bending or turning movements can lead to the development and aggravation of low back pain.

All you need to know about back pain

The exoskeleton delays fatigue and relieves back pain. Used in prevention, the exoskeleton brings a physical relief acting in prevention of the risks of MSD and work accidents related to the professional activity.

Impact of the exoskeleton

The exoskeleton does not lighten the perceived weight of the load being carried but limits the impact of load handling, repetitive movements and awkward postures on the lumbar vertebrae. The objective is to avoid the appearance or aggravation of lumbar lesions.

All you need to know about back pain

Certified CE medical, the exoskeleton has been the subject of several clinical studies. In addition, it was developed in collaboration with health professionals.

Scientific and medical studies

The Japet exoskeleton is worn like a lumbar belt and is composed of 4 micromotors that will reduce the pressure on the spine. The movement sensors guarantee the mobility.

Functioning of the Japet.W exoskeleton

The exoskeleton weighs less than 2 kg, 4.4 lbs.

Our product experts are available to advise you. You can also carry out a free online diagnosis to validate the suitability of the product for the targeted workstation.

Perform the diagnosis

used during the most demanding tasks for the back, so the duration of use depends on the type of activity.

In order to determine the ranges of use of the exoskeleton, we accompany you in the identification of the tasks with risks or strong lumbar constraints to ensure an optimal use and the adhesion to the product.

The integration protocol of exoskeletons

Since muscle activity is preserved, there are no contraindications to wear the exoskeleton all day. However, we accompany you in identifying high-risk or lumbar constraint tasks to provide personalised recommendations for use. Optimal and customised use maximises adherence to the product.

The keys to integrating exoskeletons into a company.

Against low back pain, the right treatment is movement. Our exoskeleton allows a total mobility of the user in order to prevent muscle loss. Moreover, our studies have proven a maintenance of muscle activity when using the exoskeleton.

Scientific and medical studies

The use of the product is very simple, it takes less than a minute to put on and less than 30 seconds to take off.

User centered design.

After a 1 hour training, users can use the exoskeleton autonomously.

Regarding the integration of the equipment in the user’s daily routine, INRS standards indicate a period of 30 days for a complete integration.

The keys to the integration of exoskeletons in companies

To ensure the acceptability of the exoskeleton, it is necessary to set up a collaborative approach and to follow an integration protocol.

The keys to the integration of exoskeletons in companies

To ensure that the exoskeleton is used, it is necessary to follow a gradual integration process by identifying the first users and ensuring that the exoskeleton corresponds to a real need.

The keys to the integration of exoskeletons in companies

To analyze the effectiveness of the exoskeleton, it is necessary to set up a monitoring logbook that collects information on the acceptability and impact of the exoskeleton and allows the manufacturer to provide indicators of effectiveness.
