Ergonomic shoulder support

Abstract

The Ergonomic Shoulder Support system is designed to prevent physical damage to the shoulders, spinal cord and lower back while objects of varying weights and sizes are being carried on the shoulder. The Ergonomic Shoulder Support system transfers the weight from the shoulder to the waist support belt for a more even distribution of the weight. The system is also designed for simplicity by providing easy attachment of the shoulder support bracket to the support belt as well as providing automated height adjustment and contour for body comfort.
