2. The Apex reduces compression force on spinal discs.
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that soft exosuits like the Apex reduce spine compression force during bending and lifting. Evidence is based on electromyography (muscle activity), musculoskeletal modeling, force-instrumented devices, human biomechanics, and...
3. The Apex reduces muscle fatigue & increases endurance.
Multiple peer-reviewed laboratory and field studies have found evidence of less back muscle fatigue and more user endurance when wearing an exosuit. Two separate electromyography studies used the frequency content of back muscle activity to monitor the fatigue state...
4. The Apex reduces bodily discomfort on the back and knees.
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...
