Summary of Specialist survey2009-06-30
Since 2006 the Back App
chair has been on the market as a training apparatus exercising the back
supporting muscles during seating. After selling 11000 chairs we sent a
questionnaire to specialists (physiotherapists, chiropractors, etc) in
the Nordic countries who use Back App.
The company Prognett AS arranged the independent study and received replies from 51% of the specialists (364 answered, 144 from Norway, 104 from Sweden, 60 from Denmark and 56 from Finland).
From the 364 specialists the following conclusions were obtained:
Effect of Back App on the back
98,1% of specialists said that
patients with back problems would benefit from sitting on Back App. 97%
said that sitting on Back App had positive effects on the function in
the lumbar region.
The majority indicated that Back App stimulated
the muscles ”Transversus abdominis” and ”Multifides” which play a major
role in supporting the lumbar region of the back.
Effects of Back App on the neck
67,3 % of specialists said
that neck patients would benefit from training with Back App, and over
62,2 % said that sitting on Back App had positive effects on neck
function.
Effects of Back App on the hips
49,5 % of specialists said
that patients with hip problems would benefit from training on Back App,
and over 39,3 % said that sitting on Back App should give positive
effects on hip function.
Effect of Back App on the pelvis
47,3 % of specialists said
that patients with problems in the pelvic region would benefit from
training on Back App, and over 39 % said that Back App affected pelvic
function positively. In addition over 44,8 % said that pelvic muscles
were positively affected.
Back App can be recommended
We asked the specialists if they
would advise their patients to use Back App?
348 of 364 said “Yes”
The
18 saying no had these reasons: 5 of them had no patients and could of
course not advise the Back App to anybody, 6 said they thought it was
too expensive, 7 said that they would not recommend the chair because of
the need for height adjustable tables and because Back App was not
movable (needed wheels)
Comfort
351 of 364 said that Back App seating was comfortable.
Comfortable seating is a key factor for continuous use of Back App as a
training apparatus.
From this extensive study we can conclude that specialists from Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Finland agree that the Back App chair is doing the
job it was planned to do; Back App exercises the back supporting muscles
- by sitting
