Context
To analyse the impact of the Japet.W exoskeleton on the intradiscal pressure on a moving subject, the exoskeleton is modelled in a human body simulator.
Method
The intradiscal pressure was calculated using the musculoskeletal simulator software AnyBody Modeling System. Calculations were performed with and without the exoskeleton during movements in the three anatomical planes.
Result
This study allows us to conclude that the lumbar support is maintained during movement.
