Sainte-Marie Vineyard – Using StretchCare in the field
Deploying StretchCare in a demanding agricultural environment to reduce joint strain during winter pruning.
In partnership with the Domaine de Sainte-Marie, Somanity tested the StretchCare exoskeleton during the physically intensive winter pruning period. The goal: provide passive joint support for workers in bent-over positions over extended periods.
After one week of use, users reported a noticeable reduction in shoulder and lower-back fatigue. StretchCare proved compatible with electric shears and outdoor clothing, offering both ergonomic benefit and practical adaptability.
