Lower extremity exoskeleton as lift assist device.
Sale Price: $69.00 |
DescriptionUnited States workplace injury data demonstrates that in 2005 overexertion caused more than 270 000 cases of lower back disorders (LBD) severe enough to cause absenteeism. This amounts to more than one case reported for every ten warehouse manual material handlers in one year. Manual material handling remains a physically demanding task and existing assist devices have found limited success. Extensive research has been performed on workplace back loading, and several biomechanical models have been developed to study the issue. We propose a lower extremity exoskeleton device which adds a passive extensor moment (restoring moment) about the hips and acting on the upper torso when a wearer is in non-neutral bending and squatting postures, thus reducing forces on the lower back by (1) decreasing the required extensor muscle force, and (2) transmitting forces directly to the ground via the exoskeleton structure. The maximum useful moment profile (providing the greatest restoring moment, yet comfortable for the wearer) was determined via iterative adjustments and oral interviews with six subjects. Video sequences were recorded of normal speed sagittal squat lifting a 44.5 N (10 lb) and a 133.5 N (30 lb) package with retro-flective markers. Marker locations were tracked, and forces were computed for static and dynamic cases. Surface electromyography (EMG) was performed on 6 subjects to measure muscle activation in the static squat posture: supporting 44.5 N (10 lb) and 133.5 N (30 lb) packages. Biomechanical model calculations based on marker tracking data suggested that the device significantly reduces maximum erector spinae muscle tension and spine compressive forces when lifting 133.5 N (30 lb) and 44.5 N (10 lb) packages. Static EMG analysis with 133.5 N (30 lb) and 44.5 N (10 lb) packages showed that with the moment restoring exoskeleton, subjects also demonstrated a significant reduction in muscle activity, confirming results found using the biomechanical model. Dynamic EMG testing with 133.5 N (30 lb) and 44.5 N (10 lb) packages showed statistically significant reduction in average back muscle activation over the course of the lift. The lower extremity exoskeleton effectively reduces low back forces during squat lifting. These results correlate to similar studies of the low back and of other lift assist devices. This exoskeleton device includes features not available on other devices including real-time adjustability of moment profile, ability to reduce moments in squat position, and eliminating high contact stress in the lower extremities by connecting directly with the ground. |

Shoulder Dolly LD1000 2-Person Lifting and Moving System
List Price: |
DescriptionShoulder Dolly Light Duty gives you a hand in moving the heavy stuff--and reduces back, arm, and hand strain. You're looking at a 2-person harness, webbing and buckle system designed by a professional mover to ease the burden of lifting heavy and bulky objects. Shoulder Dolly lets 2 movers lift in an upright position instead of bending over, so they use shoulder and leg muscles instead of their backs, hands, biceps, and forearms. Both movers slip into their harnesses, adjust webbing for differences in their heights and the weight of the object, place webbing under the object, and lift. Movin' on up: Recommended weight capacity up to 400 pounds. Encourages safe lifting techniques and reduces injury risk. Eliminates damage caused by hand trucks and traditional dollies--no more marring walls, floors, doors, and furniture. Increases efficiency. Superior to systems that utilize stronger muscles to bear weight. Excellent for going up and down staircases. Weighs 4 pounds. Features

For decades, traditional audio/video components were simple analog devices designed to easily weather power outages of well over two seconds. Later, as computer and microprocessor based components gained in popularity, their extraordinary sensitivity to even a fraction of a second's power loss was managed with traditional UPS (uninterruptible power supply) technology. Unfortunately, these units were solely designed for the I.T. professional. Though they included many technologies and features appropriate to that application, they fell short for premium audio/video components. Though many of these manufactures later recognized the ever-eme Features
