Relief for the back
Ottobock Back
Ottobock Back was developed together with logistics experts and employees from warehouses and parcel distribution centres. The exoskeleton works according to a biomechanical principle: the load is carried on the back like a rucksack. Shoulder and redirected to the thighs with the help of the exoskeleton's support structure. The energy store absorbs force when bending and releases it again when lifting.
This leads to a noticeable relief of up to 25 kilograms on the lower back. The heart of the system is the purely mechanical control at hip height - a technological world first. It can distinguish between bending and walking and switches off automatically when walking to ensure full freedom of movement. The support force can be infinitely adjusted to the load of different work steps using the rotary knob.

The passive system enables a very low weight of approx. 4 kilograms, despite comparable performance with actively driven systems.
The purely mechanical control system distinguishes between bending and walking and switches off automatically when walking.
With practice, putting on and taking off the Paexo Back takes less than 20 seconds - ideal for breaks.
Every Paexo product incorporates 100 years of experience in orthopaedic technology and a pioneering spirit "Made in Germany".

The most frequently asked questions about our exoskeleton
Ottobock researched the influence of overhead exoskeletons on the body's biomechanics with experts during the development of the Ottobock Shoulder. The positive effect of Ottobock Shoulder has been analysed and proven in two studies. Under the following link you will find further information on the Studies
The textiles of the Ottobock Back are removable, washable and reusable. The technology can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It is possible to order a hygiene set for replacing the textiles.
There are different models for the Ottobock Back. There will be both a leasing offer and the option to purchase. For the launch, customers and interested parties can take advantage of test packages of different sizes. As part of these test packages, we will accompany the introduction at the workstations and evaluate the use of Ottobock Back. We would be happy to make you an offer. .

in a nutshell
Ottobock Back is a mechanical exoskeleton that reduces back strain when lifting by redirecting the load to the thighs. The mechanical control system automatically distinguishes between walking and bending, which means that the exoskeleton is only activated when lifting.
The advantages of the Ottobock Back at a glance:
Back relief: Relieves the pressure on the lower Back by up to 25 kg.
