The Neomove device: acting at the biomechanical source of MSD risk

Addressing the biomechanical source of MSD risk requires going beyond simply reducing work-related stress.

MSDs, or musculoskeletal disorders, often occur when the body is subjected to repeated strain. Preventing them cannot be limited to reducing this strain.

It is also a question of maintaining the functional capacity of employees to absorb them over time.

Neomove is a digital device designed to act on this individual lever, without replacing ergonomic measures, while producing usable data in a structured prevention approach.

Sustainable prevention relies on two complementary levers:

  • address professional constraints

  • maintain the body's ability to absorb them

Ergonomics, workstation design, and training in proper movements and postures are essential.

They reduce exposure to risk.

Neomove does not replace job analysis or work organization.

Reduce constraints and maintain functional capacity

The application acts on the other variable in the system: individual functional capacity.

When useful mobility decreases, motor control deteriorates, and compensations set in:

  • certain areas become overloaded

  • gestural variability is reduced

  • local fatigue builds up

  • the pain appears

MSDs result from a dynamic imbalance between constraints and capabilities.
Neomove focuses specifically on this second lever.

The balance between constraints and capabilities takes on its full meaning when it is incorporated into a continuous management approach.

Movement as a biomechanical and neuromotor lever

The movement operates on two complementary levels.

Mechanics

  • Useful joint mobility

  • Segmental stability

  • Better distribution of loads

Neuro-motor

  • Coordination

  • Muscle synchronization

  • Efficiency of movement

  • Better tolerance to prolonged postures

In office and hybrid environments, sedentary lifestyles exacerbate this imbalance.
According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), an increase of more than two hours of sitting per day is associated with a significant increase in the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

The problem is not just posture. It is the gradual loss of adaptability.

The goal is not to freeze an ideal posture. It is to restore sufficient adaptive capacity to absorb the real stresses of work.

The Move Test: analyzing movement
to act with precision

The Move Test is a digitalized functional assessment based on standardized tests and motion tracking analysis.

Without sensors or specific equipment, it can identify:

  • Mobility limitations

  • Functional imbalances

  • Stability deficits

  • Alterations in motor control

The analysis is based on a reproducible assessment grid, focusing on the major functional areas: neck, shoulders, arms, feet, knees, hips, and back.

This is not a medical diagnosis.

It is a prevention-oriented functional analysis tool designed to be repeated over time in order to monitor changes in abilities.

From analysis to targeted action

The results of the Move Test do not produce an abstract score.
They trigger a structured functional orientation.

Each profile generates:

  • Prioritization of risk areas

  • Prioritization of areas of focus

  • An individualized protocol tailored to the actual level of mobility and stability

The sessions offered are not generic.
They address the imbalances identified during the assessment.

The selected exercises aim to correct the imbalances identified during the Move Test:

  • Regain sufficient mobility to perform everyday tasks with minimal compensation

  • Stabilize certain areas that are repeatedly stressed

  • Making movements more efficient and less costly in terms of tension

The recommendations address the limitations actually observed during the functional assessment.

Progress is based on measured data, not on a standard program that is identical for everyone.

Actions integrated into actual work

The device includes:

  • 10-, 20-, or 30-minute sessions

  • active breaks to combat sedentary lifestyles

  • zone-specific protocols

  • recovery sequences

The formats are designed to fit into professional days without adding organizational complexity.

The objective is straightforward: to maintain functional capacity in the face of the actual constraints of the position.

But the body's capacity is not limited to working hours.

By restoring mobility, stability, and motor control, the effects extend beyond the strictly professional sphere and contribute to greater tolerance of everyday demands.

Prevention is no longer a one-off action.
It is becoming an integrated and sustainable practice.

The operational integration procedures are detailed on the MSD prevention deployment page.

From individual action to structured prevention

On a collective scale, the anonymized aggregation of data produces usable anonymized indicators:

  • Activation rate

  • Change in reported fatigue

  • Distribution of the most frequently reported areas of tension

  • Changes in mobility and stability capabilities...

  • Progress observed between two successive assessments

These data, displayed by age group and type of major activity, enable the evolution of functional risk over time to be objectively assessed without exposing individual data, and are fully meaningful in the dashboard, where they contribute to the DUERP and PAPRIPACT processes.

For organizations with fewer than 25 employees, a standalone offer without management is available.
