Abstract
The exoskeleton based hydraulic support is basically a ?chair? which is worn like an exoskeleton, allowing users to walk or run with the device while they work .this chair helps users to rest their leg muscles by directing their body weight towards a variable damper attached to the frame and directs the weight to the ground. It consists of two identical "chairs", one strapped to each of the wearer's legs. To use, simply bend your knees to a comfortable stance to activate its damper that supports your body weight. This exoskeleton based support would be useful to people whose current job requires them to stand for long hours. This new and modernized ?chair? will ease the aches in the thighs and back. It is especially of great use to the elderly , workers in assembly line , trekkers and military who don?t always have the option of pulling a chair to rest themselves on the go ! It keeps your back straight and can reduce the occurrence of bad postures for both healthy workers and those recovering from muscle related injuries.
