Core Stabilization Harness With Hip-Strap Weight Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing apparatuses for strengthening and stabilizing the core muscles, such as the glutes and abdominal muscles, often fail to provide effective activation, stabilization, and posture improvement, while also being cumbersome and lacking versatility in use.
Innovation Solution
A wearable apparatus comprising a bag and a front harness with adjustable straps and a buckle system that stabilizes the abdominal muscles, stimulates the glutes, and improves posture by distributing weight evenly across the core, allowing for easy placement and removal with latches and release buttons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing apparatuses are used to strengthen and stabilize core muscles, then muscle stabilization function is provided, but the apparatus becomes cumbersome and lacks versatility
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a muscle stabilization device for core strengthening, a posture correction tool, and a carrying bag for objects or children. The front harness and strap system can be configured for different uses, making the device versatile rather than single-purpose.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus is divided into separate functional components: a front harness for muscle engagement, adjustable straps for positioning, and a bag component for carrying purposes. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function while enabling overall versatility.
2Reliability
If existing apparatuses are used to strengthen core muscles, then stabilization is provided, but the apparatus becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The harness, straps, and bag are merged into a single integrated apparatus that can be worn and used simultaneously. The connecting latch and release button system unifies the fastening mechanism, reducing the number of separate components and simplifying the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus incorporates adjustable and movable elements, including adjustable straps and a dynamic release button mechanism, allowing the device to adapt to different users and situations while maintaining a streamlined, non-cumbersome design.
3Reliability
If a front harness with straps is used to stabilize the bag, then abdominal muscle activation is improved, but placement and removal becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting latch and release button system is designed to be user-friendly and self-operating. The release button allows easy detachment of the straps from the harness, and the latch automatically secures them during wear, making the apparatus simple to put on and take off without requiring complex manual manipulation.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are apparatuses for strengthening or stabilizing the glutes, the abdominal muscles, or the core of a person wearing one of the apparatuses. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a bag that can rest near or on the glutes, stabilized by a front harness that activates, strengthens, or stabilizes the abdominal muscles. The apparatus includes straps that wrap around the hips and connect the front harness to the bag. For example, two pairs of straps can connect the bag to the harness, and one pair can wrap at the top or just above the hips and the other pair can wrap at the bottom or just below the hips.
