Abstract
Some implementations can include a mechanical passive exoskeleton for the support, endurance, and physical health of laboring workers, operators with reduced strength in extremities, and operators in need of assist when rising to a standing position. The exoskeleton can assist in bending, crouching, lifting, and other repetitive motions via resistance within the flex chain and flex cartridge assemblies and lumbar support from the resistive nested spinal assembly.
