Back Up Back

According to statistics, there are currently 287 million migrant workers in China, with one in five experiencing back injuries due to the nature of their work. This project is dedicated to addressing the needs of heavy manual workers by designing an innovative ergonomic wearable back support device. Drawing inspiration from both personal protective equipment and sports gear, the device utilizes a bionic exoskeleton structure.

The 'Back Up Back' aims to stabilize the spine at a safe and optimal angle, particularly under load conditions. By preventing excessive bending and minimizing back movements, it effectively redistributes the weight of heavy loads across the worker's entire back. This design not only reduces localized stress but also mitigates the risk of workplace injuries, thus promoting safer working conditions and improving overall well-being.

备背

据统计，到目前为止中国有2.87亿农民工，每五个重体力劳动者中就有一个腰部受伤。该项目关注重体力劳动者，任务是设计一个符合人体工程学的可穿戴背负装置。这种设备以个人防护设备和运动防护设备为基础，并受到仿生学的外骨骼结构的启发。

经过测试，在“备背”的帮助下，脊柱可以在负载条件下被固定在一个适当的安全角度，以避免过度弯曲和过度的背部运动，并将重物的重量分散在劳动者的整个背部以减少局部的压力，避免工作受伤。
