🎨 Use Case – Painting & Restoration: Preserving the Health of Craftsmen and Decorative Painters

The Challenge

Building painters, decorative painters, and art restorers face particularly heavy physical demands:

Work with arms raised and head extended during frescoes, ceilings, or vaults;
Constrained postures in often tight spaces;
Prolonged immobility and repetitive movements causing shoulder, neck, and back pain.

These working conditions lead to significant fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders, threatening the health of craftsmen… as well as the long-term continuity of their professional activity.

The Solution: Plum’ Exoskeleton

The Plum’ is a passive, lightweight exoskeleton (only 1.6 kg) that supports arm movements above chest height:

Relieves up to 7 kg per arm, significantly reducing shoulder strain;
Enables prolonged work with arms raised without loss of efficiency;
Designed to preserve natural mobility, even in confined spaces;
Easy to put on and wear, adapted to the realities of restoration and painting projects.

The Benefits

✅ Preserve daily health and comfort of craftsmen.
✅ Sustain their professional activity until retirement by reducing injury risks.
✅ Reduce forced breaks and enable better continuity on complex projects.
✅ Improve efficiency without compromising work quality.

Concrete Example

Christine Mouyon, an artisan and recipient of the École Française de Décor Excellence Award, chose the Plum’ for her restoration projects. This feedback perfectly illustrates the exoskeleton’s contribution: a discreet yet powerful support that helps professionals maintain their health while performing precision work.
