Exoskeleton

TRL Level: 4

Anáhuac University
The Exoskeleton reduces the loss of users in gyms, by accelerating the results of strength or control training.

Features and technical specifications

Multiarticular exoskeleton with adjustable resistance for bodybuilding and rehabilitation exercises with 24 degrees of freedom of movement.

Formed by two multi-articular modules that include:

An upper module to be supported on the user’s shoulders to which two articulated rigid segments are joined, which run parallel to each of the user’s upper extremities.
A rigid belt that surrounds the pelvic area of the user, to which two articulated rigid segments are joined, which run parallel to the user’s lower extremities.

Technology and Competitive Advantages

Only concentric contractions are generated, so the DOMS (post workout muscle pain) is significantly reduced.
Increase aerobic metabolism by accelerating weight control results and increased strength.
It completely replaces all integrated and free weight gym equipment since it applies direct resistance to each joint and follows any movement.

Technology Applications

Validated Application

Gym equipment for strength training and weight control.

Potencial Applications

Complement in the training of high performance athletes.
In rehabilitation for patients who need to increase their strength but who have enough to move a load.
