Inonim Back - Wearing Instructions

Thank you for purchasing Inonim Back! We hope that you will be pleased with our product and that it will serve you well for years to come. Below you can find some videos that demonstrate how to wear and adjust the fit for the first time – the fit adjustment only needs to be done once; unless your body changes. 

SAFETY DISCLAIMER 

As with all exoskeletons, this product redistributes some of the force of gravity from your back to your thighs and chest to reduce back strain. It does NOT eliminate these forces on your body. By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of these forces applied to your body. Do NOT use this product if you have existing injuries or health conditions. Always consult with a licensed medical professional before incorporating this into your routine. If you experience any discomfort, irritation, or pain, discontinue use immediately and seek professional advice. Do NOT attempt to carry or do more than your body is normally capable of without the device. When using the device, we have measured elastic forces of up to 10kg. In the event of mechanical failure, this force can be released abruptly behind the user. Do NOT use it when a person is directly behind you.

Fit Adjustments

Before we send the Inonim Back exoskeleton to you it will already be tested and adjusted to be in a functional position but some further adjustments may be required based on your exact height, waist, thigh and chest circumferences. The product should feel comfortable and the motion smooth once adjusted to fit.

The exact placements of the "sliders" (circled in blue) will be different for each person. However there should be sufficient distance between them and the "end caps" (circled in yellow) such that when you bend they have room to slide instead of resisting your movement. The video below demonstrates how to make adjustments to the Inonim Back exoskeleton so that it fits properly. You can simply loosen and tighten the straps as required, the mechanism for each strap adjuster is the same.
