Umanistic offers the widest choice of exoskeletons in Canada.

The Canadian government organization CCOHS (Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety) here defines exoskeletons as follows:

Exoskeletons are wearable devices that can improve, strengthen or facilitate the user’s posture, movement or physical activity. Exoskeletons can reduce muscle stress in frequently affected areas of the body, such as the lower back or shoulders, and relieve operator discomfort and fatigue. More precisely, exoskeletons act in association with the user’s physical abilities to:

• Reduce the biomechanical load on the user’s joints, muscles and soft tissues and thus reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD);

• Reduce the user’s metabolic effort and thus reduce worker fatigue and the risk of burnout.

The benefits of using an exoskeleton include:  

• a reduction in fatigue,
• an increase in endurance
• an improvement in safety in certain work environments,
• a faster rehabilitation after an injury,
• a gradual return to employment,
• an increased accessibility for people with physical limitations.

Finally, exoskeletons are recognized for combating arduousness at work and its consequences such as Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD), work accidents, absenteeism, or demotivation.

Each exoskeleton model has its own retail price and certain options may modify this price. But to give a price scale, all the models presented on this site are between $600 for the simplest devices to few thousands dollars for the most complex.

For bigger orders, do not hesitate to ask about our WAAS solution (Wearable As A Service), that allows you monthly payments, as a lease.

They are also guaranteed for parts and labor for a period of 1 year.
