Accupressure Back Support
The Iowa Spine Research Center at The University of Iowa and patent co-applicant Chase Ergonomics, Inc. of Albuquerque, New Mexico have collaborated on the development of the ACCUPRESSURE® Back Support.
This design incorporates new knowledge of how the body reacts to sudden loading caused by unexpected events (accidents). During such events, back muscles can over-contract by as much as 70%.
This over-contraction is often the hazard that triggers back injury. Accupressure reduces this excess exertion by up to 46%. In addition, the Iowa studies document less fatigue in subjects wearing the Accupressure.
Constructed of Tradewinds™, our exclusive breathable neoprene, for cool comfort under clothing or in hot or humid weather.
