Wearable chair that allows you to sit and rest whenever is required, preventing health problems.
Wearable chair specifically designed for surgeons forced to spend a long time standing during operations, and for all other professions involving excessive stress for the lower limbs. It allows you to sit and rest, thus preventing long-term health problems. The wearable chair has the appearance of a prosthesis that wraps around the legs and is fixed to the limbs with belts. When worn, it makes the angle of ankle and knee stable, so that it is not applied any effort on the legs and is not exercised pressure on the joints. The body coercion is distributed between the shin and the thigh, minimizing muscle fatigue. The shell wraps the feet, legs and buttocks allowing to sit whenever is required and move freely.
