Skelex 360 Shoulder Exoskeleton

The non-powered Skelex 360 Shoulder Exoskeleton is designed to take the strain off both the shoulders and arms of one who does overhead or mid-range (from the waist up) work. It accomplishes this by: (1) supporting the shoulders using flex metal frames, (2) supporting the arms via arm cuff height and positioning adjustment, and (3) transferring shoulder/arm muscle activity to the lower body, which is less burdened during upper-body work. According to the manufacturer, the device is lightweight, its material is breathable, and its contact with the body is minimal, thus providing good heat dissemination and comfort.

Cost: $3,450.00
