Why Your Back Needs Relief

The back is the foundation of our physical performance. Day in and day out, it bears heavy loads, stabilizes our movements, and keeps us upright. In many professions, it is subjected to significant strain, especially during the workday—whether during order picking, assembly, loading, or repetitive bending and lifting. This constant strain often goes unnoticed for a long time, but it can lead to serious health problems.

The B900 active back exoskeleton is the right tool for the job: It provides noticeable relief and supports the back exactly where the strain occurs.

Why is the back so vulnerable?

People who do physical work every day usually feel the strain first in their lower back. At first, the discomfort is mild, but over time it can develop into serious problems—including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). In Germany, these are the most common cause of work disability. The consequences are severe: chronic pain, early retirement in some cases, and high costs for businesses and the healthcare system.

The lumbar spine bears the brunt of this strain. During activities such as lifting, bending, and working in a forward-leaning position, enormous compressive and shear forces act on the intervertebral discs. The back and core muscles are called upon to counteract these forces and keep the vertebrae aligned.

Problems arise when muscle strength is not in balance with the demands placed on them. This muscular overexertion then leads to fatigue, pain, and an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Without targeted relief, wear and tear and chronic symptoms gradually set in—with noticeable effects on employees and businesses.

The Solution: Relief Through Exoskeletons

To address back pain at its source, solutions are needed that work directly within the work process. This is exactly where the B900 active back exoskeleton comes in. With up to 30 kg of power assistance, it relieves strain on the lower back during lifting and carrying tasks, as well as during activities performed in a forward-leaning posture.

For users, this means less physical effort during repetitive movements, noticeably less strain on the back, and the ability to work longer. At the same time, workplace safety improves and physical work becomes more appealing. This makes the B900 active back exoskeleton the ideal tool—for all professions involving heavy back strain and for companies looking to gain a competitive edge in the race for skilled workers.
