Functions and advantages

Everything you need to know about the features and benefits of the Laevo V2 exoskeleton: portable chest and back support need to know.

The Laevo makes it easier for you to move and work if you have back problems or want to prevent them. The portable structure reduces the relative weight of the upper body and thus the load on the lower back. Thus, it is a tool that supports the working posture and improves sustainable usability. The portable design of the upper body reduces the weight load on your lower back, improving your posture and maintaining your performance. Furthermore, the Laevo also allows you to walk, work in an upright posture, or work to reach on or up. The Laevo facilitates work in a bent-over posture or with frequent lifting / bending movements. The Laevo reduces the strain on the back. Important: You can not lift heavier with it, and certainly not than is legally required, but the lifting becomes easier and no longer goes so much on the back.

Laevo V2 Flex test report:

Sebastian (master orthotist) and I (Tom) were able to test the Laevo Flex in an old industrial facility on May 06, 2023. You get the Laevo Flex in a large Laevo branded bag, which can easily be carried over the shoulder or by hand as a carrying bag. We have spread out the entire set once for you. There are additional leg joints included so that the set is usable for any user size, as well as more spare parts, respectively more strength strands for easy change. For women, a special women's vest is included. This means that even as a woman, you can wear the exoskeleton without any problems and without it being too restrictive in the chest area. Putting it on took about a minute. We received a virtual instruction from the manufacturer in advance. Furthermore, you can find more videos with instructions on Youtube or the manufacturer's website. This enables you to put on the exoskeleton yourself and adjust it individually. There is an adjustment mechanism for the leg joints on the side. This allows you to easily activate the leg joints or deactivate them for longer walking. For use, we recommend setting number three. With this setting, the leg joints act as a counter-pressure to the back and can thus absorb the energy. When walking, you either have to get used to it or loosen the leg joints a bit again within seconds. Otherwise you are working against the leg energy when walking. We also tested the Laevo Flex while climbing stairs. This worked flawlessly. When sitting on an office chair, the solution reaches its limits, as the standardized office chair width is too narrow for the Laevo Flex 2. One could only sit slightly bent forward. The situation is different for chairs without backrests. Thus, we tested a round seat chair. Sitting was possible without any problems. Initially, we thought that we might get stuck with the blue connecting parts, but this was not the case in narrow aisles, on a ladder or on machines. You can squat down and turn around your own axis without any problems. Even visiting the toilet is possible without any problems. It should be paid urgent attention to the fact that the leg joints are really properly adjusted, preferably two centimeters above the patella tendon terminating. Due to the air-permeable fabric cover, one does not start sweating as quickly as with other solutions. However, sweating can be ruled out with an exoskeleton, since extensive skin contact always stimulates transpiration. The Laevo Flex unfolds its full power when bent forward. This is where the support really becomes noticeable. It feels as if the exoskeleton automatically relieves the back and pulls it upwards out of the squat position. All in all, the solution is very practical, easy to use and can be used without interfering with other alternating activities.
