Belinda Carr, who tried on the Paexo Back at Ottobock's Austin facility, found it fits in under 20 seconds and gives meaningful relief to the lower back during lifting, closing her review by saying she is "genuinely excited to witness more players in the construction industry adopting this technology," while noting passive exosuits like it are less powerful than battery-driven alternatives.
- Provides up to 55 lbs of lower-back relief and helps maintain spinal alignment
- Lightweight (about 10 lbs) with a fit time under 20 seconds
- Reduces muscle fatigue and injury risk during lifting
- Less powerful than battery-powered exoskeleton alternatives
- Psychological barriers to adoption remain among workers who see it as a movement impediment
