Abstract: Provided is a system for muscle strength support. The system includes an exoskeleton which is configured to be attached to a body of a human during use of the system, and a control unit for controlling a supportive force provided by the exoskeleton during use of the system.

Abstract: A system having an arrangement for supporting an arm of a user is disclosed. The arrangement has an actuator, which is connected to a shoulder element by a joint chain. The joint chain is designed to extend along the shoulder blade of a shoulder of the user and to introduce vertically acting forces into the shoulder element. Moreover, the joint chain is guided by a flexible structure that extends over the shoulder of the user. By virtue of the deformability of the flexible structure, it is possible to ensure that a lifting of the shoulder, resulting from a lifting of a hand of the user, is not impeded.

Abstract: A device for muscle strength support includes a flexible support structure configured to be worn on a body of a user during use of the device and an actuator unit configured to exert a tensile force on a first tension member of the flexible support structure to support the muscle strength during a movement of a first body part. The first tension member extends along a first path through a guide strap of the flexible support structure to the actuator unit, the guide strap limiting a section of the first path in a direction perpendicular to a path longitudinal direction. The first tension member is further configured to be attached to the first body part during use of the device by a first fastening member.

Abstract: A system for reducing forces which, in particular, act on a spine of a human, includes a plurality of joinable exoskeleton elements, wherein at least two of the joinable exoskeleton elements are configured to be fastened to the human body during use of the system and wherein a first exoskeleton element of the joinable exoskeleton elements includes a guide which is configured to guide a second exoskeleton element of the joinable exoskeleton elements along a curved trajectory relative to the first exoskeleton element and to enforce a superimposed translational and rotational relative movement between the first exoskeleton element and the second exoskeleton element when guiding the second exoskeleton element along the curved trajectory relative to the first exoskeleton element.
