Backapp wants to change the world of sitting still. The technology behind Backapp is completely unique worldwide, which is endorsed by the fact that we have patents in many countries. The goal is to develop, produce and sell chairs that strengthen the stability muscles in the back while you sit, to help people around the world with better health and well-being. Of course, we all sit too much: so the fight against sedentary behavior and negative health effects is in full swing. Many interventions focus on activating employees with the goal of being more active during working hours and/or leisure time. Backapp is convinced that vitality and sustainable employability start at a tangible workplace: Dutch people usually spend most of their time there. It is a fact that we naturally have to keep working hard. This is usually the biggest obstacle, because we cannot completely change our attitude at work, reduce sitting and become more active. This is why most good intentions regarding dynamic work fail.
The core of Backapp's philosophy is to constantly keep a little movement by balancing the "magic ball." Because the chair has no backrest, the user is constantly encouraged to maintain balance and a healthy working posture. The open angle of the hips ensures that your back is healthy and there is no pain. The Backapp balance chair is currently the only available chair without a backrest that is suitable for long-term (> 2 hours) use. Due to its unique construction and in particular the characteristic shape of the saddle, the chair ensures that you adopt a correct and natural body posture from the very first moment. This posture is recognizable, because in this position an imaginary perpendicular connecting line can be drawn from the hole of the ear, to the shoulder and thus to the hip joint. The Backapp balance chair comes standard with a high-lift device, which allows you to sit higher on the floor (the chair is suitable for a height of about 1.58 cm). This elevated position provides a good starting position for the pelvis, allowing you to guide your spine correctly.
Based on two studies where people sat upright without a backrest and they tried to maintain a natural posture or did a typing exercise. The conclusion was that the outer stability muscles are less active when sitting on the Backapp. Lumbar flexion was also significantly reduced, as was the activity of one of the major lumbar muscles. It was concluded that sitting upright is easier on the Backapp than on an ordinary office chair. When using the Backapp, you can sit upright for longer without a backrest.
