The Dorsum Exposine, is a new revolutionary posture enhancing back support designed to bolster the body without restricting movement. The support aid is live on the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and a runaway success story having already surpassed their initial raise goal.Back pain at any level is almost universally attributed to posture. Even while knowing the importance of great posture, it is difficult to maintain the correct position while focusing on the task at hand. The Dorsum Exospine is a new breakthrough product that can reduce the risk of back injury by reminding the user to maintain great ergonomic posture.
“The demanding work from fighting wildland fires and carrying heavy packs would often lead to my back fatigue and pain. The long days of repetitive work would only increase the risk of injury and accelerate being fatigued,” says founder and CEO of Dorsum, Leo Ochoa on the inspiration behind the product. “While in design school, I reimagined a first responder’s uniform to integrate a vertical spring back support. Inspired by the heroic work of first responders, I created the Dorsum Exospine as an answer to the many stories of career-ending back injuries I received.”
Back alignment products in the market serve different purposes and do not have a significant impact reducing back injuries. Most often, these products are used for either training or post-injury and are often restrictive or limited to the upper back. The Dorsum Exospine exists in a new space the company calls Flexible Support, focused on prevention rather than rehabilitation, supporting the upper, mid, and lower regions of the back. The device is designed not to limit the body’s movement; but rather, to encourage proper movement throughout activities requiring repetitive motion.
The Dorsum Exospine is great for those at risk of back injuries doing work that requires “hinge” type movements. “Hinge” movement jobs are jobs/activities that require bending over, and lifting movements that can cause an individual’s back to severely fatigue. This makes the Dorsum Exposine perfect for:
• First Responders & Emergency Medical Services
• Package handlers
• Construction workers
• Drivers
• Laborers
• Anyone that does repetitive movements as part of their daily activity.
“Our world is moving faster, and the quick pace of modern life is rapidly increasing the risk of back pain and injury by accelerating tasks requiring repetitive movements. 80% of adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives, and that number is expected to increase,” adds Ochoa. “The Dorsum Exospine can have a huge impact in reducing the risk of injury by allowing the wearer to move properly and be supported throughout their work day.”
The Dorsum Exposine is currently live and available to pre-order on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dorsumexospine/dorsum-exospine-dorsumtechcom
