Introducing PolySpine ®

Polyspine is a lightweight, portable torso and head support system intended to be used as a multi-purpose piece of equipment across multiple situations or scenarios.

Once our modular exoskeleton is configured to the shape of the user’s spine by a trained Occupational Therapist, a unique torso and head support device is created. This includes our well-fitting chest harness and lap belt.

This customised support device can then be effortlessly swapped in and out of existing seating systems or recreational equipment, with a range of mounting brackets or attachment options.

An inclusive environment is then created in which the user can participate.

UTS Case Study – Involvement & Collaboration with PolySpine

For the PolySpine team, inclusion on the ARTG was the final hurdle before starting manufacturing the PolySpine exoskeleton. Through an Innovation Connections Grant, the team was matched with UTS Rapido, an R&D engineering and technology consultancy at UTS. PolySpine decided on a rigorous testing process to measure the strength, durability and safety of both the injected-moulded material that forms the device’s spine and the chest harness and lap belt that secures it to the user.
