BACKX
Overview
legX is a revolutionary exoskeleton that supports the user's knees, allowing them to squat repeatedly or for prolonged periods of time with ease. Research has shown that it can reduce muscle strain in the quadriceps around the knee joint.
The size of the exoskeleton, and the amount of support it provides, can be customized for the user based on their individual needs. The legX offers two distinct functions: Smart Mode and Locking Mode, which can be used independently or in combination.
In the Smart Mode, the system gets out of the way while walking or going up and down stairs. It automatically engages while squatting and transfers part of the user's weight, past their knee, to the ground. In this mode, the user gets assistance on the way down as well as on the way up. In the Locking Mode, the exoskeleton can be used like a chair that can be adjusted to multiple heights.
Features
With its core support technology to reduce lower back strain and the most comprehensive set of standard features in any back exoskeleton, BACKX is a leader in the field of back support exoskeletons.
Reduces Knee Muscle Fatigue and Forces
Substantially reduces effort of the quadricep muscles, thus reducing knee joint force.
Intelligent
The device recognizes the difference between non-strenuous activities like walking and difficult activities like prolonged squatting. It does not impede locomotion when the user is in an upright position, and automatically triggers to provide support when transitioning to a squatted posture. This intelligent design allows for the best support and the highest freedom of movement while wearing the device.
Low Profile
An anthropomorphic profile and adjustable sizing allows for natural movement and intuitive awareness of one’s position within tight spaces.
Comfortable
Unlike upper extremity exoskeletons, the weight of the legX and the forces it generates are transferred directly to the ground. This reduces the load on the user’s joints, making it easier to perform tasks low to the ground.
Works with Exisiting Gear
legX can be worn together with standard worker equipment such as tool belts, tyvek suits, respirators, etc.
Three Compatible Modules
legX is compatible with the shoulderX and backX. Modules can be combined to make 7 different exoskeletons to provide a customized solution for every task.
Adjustable Support
The amount of support can be adjusted to best suit the needs of the job.
Adjustable Size
legX is adjustable to a wide variety of sizes and can support up to 250lbs.
