Abstract:
The invention relates to a wearable support structure for at least partly relieving a human body during leaning forward or bending over. The wearable support structure comprises a frame having at least one stay provided with a chest support for bearing upon a chest area, a lumbar support for bearing upon a lumbar area, and a thigh support for bearing upon a front side of a thigh area. The stay is a flexible stay arranged such that it is in a stretched state corresponding with an upright position of a human body when being unloaded. Further, the stay is arranged to be biased back to said stretched state when being bent into a bent state corresponding with a forward leaning position of a human body.
