Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

A wearable exosuit designed for the back reduces uneven forces on the spine when lifting objects asymmetrically, compared to lifting without the device.

See the scientific wording

The Bilateral Back Extensor Exosuit provides multidimensional force assistance during asymmetric lifting tasks in healthy adult males, reducing biomechanical asymmetry in spinal loading compared to unassisted lifting, which may improve biomechanical balance during non-symmetrical work movements.

Why this might work

The exosuit applies controlled force to the back during lifting, which shifts the workload from one side of the spine to the other, making both sides work more evenly and reducing uneven pressure on the spine.
