Key Features:

1. Load Redistribution: Transfers weight or strain from high-stress areas, like the back or shoulders, to stronger areas such as the legs or hips.
2. Mechanical Assistance: Uses springs or torsion mechanisms to provide support for specific movements, such as lifting, bending, or overhead work.
3. Adjustability: Typically designed to fit a wide range of body types, with adjustable straps, joints, and tension settings for comfort and effectiveness.
4. Material Composition: Made from lightweight, durable materials such as aluminum, carbon fiber, or reinforced plastics to minimize added weight.
5. Purpose-Specific Design: Tailored for specific tasks like lifting heavy objects, repetitive squatting, or prolonged overhead work.

Benefits:

• Reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
• Enhances endurance for repetitive or static tasks.
• Improves posture and reduces fatigue by supporting natural body mechanics.
• Requires no batteries or charging, making it cost-effective and low-maintenance.

Applications:

• Warehousing and Logistics: For lifting and transporting heavy loads.
• Manufacturing and Assembly: Supports workers in tasks involving repetitive motions or overhead activities.
• Construction: Reduces strain during heavy lifting, bending, or kneeling.
• Healthcare: Assists caregivers in lifting and repositioning patients.

This type of exoskeleton for workers is ideal for workplaces aiming to boost productivity and worker safety without the complexity and cost associated with powered systems.
