Abstract
A system having an arrangement for supporting an arm of a user is disclosed. The arrangement has an actuator, which is connected to a shoulder element by a joint chain. The joint chain is designed to extend along the shoulder blade of a shoulder of the user and to introduce vertically acting forces into the shoulder element. Moreover, the joint chain is guided by a flexible structure that extends over the shoulder of the user. By virtue of the deformability of the flexible structure, it is possible to ensure that a lifting of the shoulder, resulting from a lifting of a hand of the user, is not impeded.
