See the video below for detailed description: Japanese researchers have developed a wearable chair called Archelis that can help surgeons and other long standing professionals when they are performing long duties.
Archelis, a collaboration between Yokohama-based Nitto and Chiba University, is a wearable chair that eases fatigue by supporting key pressure points of the leg, such as the top of the thigh, the front of the calves and the balls of the heels.
The device was initially conceived for the likes of doctors and surgeons, who spend long and often intensive hours on their feet with little time for rest and recuperation.
It’s designed sleekly enough to fit under clothing, Nitto claims, extending its use to retail assistants, hospitality workers and convention goers. The Archelis could also prove a worthwhile accessory to office workers who have taken to standing desks.
