HeroWear has conducted dozens of field studies in which workers use the Apex daily in their jobs. Survey data about bodily discomfort are collected before the Apex is introduced (baseline) and after weeks of Apex use. Workers consistently report less work-related discomfort in their lower and upper backs, shoulders, knees, and hips. Field study data from 336 Apex 2 users across different industries indicates, on average, 31% reductions in low back discomfort and 22% reduction in knee discomfort. Similar results have been replicated in independently-run field studies. For instance, in a multi-week field study conducted independently by SAIF (insurance company) workers reported a 73% reduction in low back discomfort when wearing the Apex.
