Mylene decathlon

Mylène, a salesperson at Decathlon Roanne, had the opportunity to try out the Japet.W.It “changed her life” in relieving recurrent low back pain from which she has been suffering for more than 7 years because of her work.

Can you introduce yourself?

My name is Mylène and I have been working at Decathlon for 18 years.

Can you tell us about your problem?

That makes I've had back pain for 7 years. I have always been interested in new technologies but we only have the basic lumbar belt.

How did you find Iapetus?

One day, looking a lot on the internet, I saw that the Japet company existed and offered exoskeletons for Help the user to keep their position and their autonomy at work.

Did it improve your life?

The Japet exoskeleton really changed my life. I use the exoskeleton to insure my job at Décathlon, for avoid addiction, no longer be afraid of sick leave.

Isn't that too restrictive?

He is an integral part of the person, he really is a friend. It takes very little time to put, barely a minute. To install it, attach a bottom belt to position it correctly. Then, we place the top scratch, then there are pressures to tighten at the waist. Finally, there are buttons that will put the engines under pressure.

Did it cost you a lot?

Decathlon paid for it for me. I want to thank Laure Cottereau from the Mission disability because there were no barriers, she told me “go for it”, I thought it was really great.

To conclude?

In my business, a lot of people are impacted by Backache and are suffering from it and I think it could to be a solution for not experiencing what I went through.
