Study on the evolution of pain in real work conditions on subjects with mechanical lumbar injuries
Context
The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the exoskeleton on the pain felt by operators suffering from mechanical lumbar injuries during a working week.
Method
To do this, 20 operators evaluated their pain level during three weeks of work with and without the Japet.W exoskeleton. Each day, their pain level was recorded through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at the end of the day.
Result
This study allows us to conclude that 85% of people with lumbar pathology experience a significant decrease in pain with the exoskeleton Japet.W.
Study on the evolution of pain in real work conditions on non-pathological subjects
Contexte
The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the exoskeleton on the lumbar pain experienced by non-pathological operators.
Method
For this purpose, 10 operators evaluated their pain level during three weeks of work with and without the Japet.W exoskeleton. Each day, their pain level was recorded through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at the end of the day.
Result
This study allows us to conclude that wearing the Japet.W exoskeleton allows a 50% reduction in pain on subjects without lumbar pathology.
