Abstract

In the manufacturing and transportation industries, lifting activities cause back pain. As a countermeasure, lumbar support suits have been developed. Among lumbar support suits, exoskeleton-type suits provide strong support but are heavy and difficult to move around in. On the other hand, endoskeleton-type products are made of soft materials, so they adhere closely to the human body and are easy to move around in. However, they have the problem of weak assistive force. Therefore, in this study, we developed a product with an ingenious design to achieve both ease of movement and strong assistive force, while keeping the structure simple to keep costs down.
