AWARDS
An excellent exoskeleton.
The BionicBack was the first exoskeleton to be awarded the prestigious AGR seal of approval “Tested & Recommended”. This award confirms its effectiveness and ergonomic excellence by leading experts from the fields of medicine, therapy and research.
The AGR seal of approval is only awarded to products that have been evaluated by an independent test committee of doctors and therapists from various disciplines according to strict criteria. The award means that the BionicBack meets the highest medical and ergonomic standards.
With the AGR seal of approval as a mark of quality, you can be sure that you are investing in a product that meets both you, your employees and the medical requirements.
The BionicBack is recommended by the Forum Gesunder Rücken - besser leben e.V. and the Bundesverband deutscher Rückenschulen (BdR) e.V., taking into account the following criteria:
-
Has a proven biomechanical effect on: Hip extensor muscles, back extensor muscles, trunk stabilizers
-
Reduces overloading during repetitive bending and lifting
-
Good fit
-
Adjustable to the individual activity profile
-
Comfortable handling
-
Low weight
-
Weather and environmental suitability
-
Easy to clean
-
Without restriction or hindrance in everyday working life
Vor der eigentlichen Zertifizierung findet eine umfassende Vorprüfung vor Ort statt. In der Hauptprüfung, die zweimal jährlich über mehrere Tage stattfindet, müssen Hersteller den ergonomischen Nutzen ihres Produkts durch Präsentationen, praktische Vorführungen und gegebenenfalls Studiennachweise belegen. Nur Produkte, die in allen Aspekten überzeugen, erhalten das AGR-Gütesiegel.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist die hohe Glaubwürdigkeit des AGR-Gütesiegels: Es wurde vom Amt der Europäischen Union für geistiges Eigentum (EUIPO) als seriös und vertrauenswürdig eingestuft und als EU-Gewährleistungsmarke anerkannt – ein Qualitätssiegel, das nur wenige Prüfzeichen erhalten. Auch die Verbraucherinitiative e. V. bewertet das AGR-Gütesiegel auf ihrem Portal Label-online.de mit der höchsten Auszeichnung „besonders empfehlenswert“.
Für das BionicBack bedeutet diese Zertifizierung: Es erfüllt nachweislich höchste Standards in puncto Ergonomie und Rückengesundheit – unabhängig geprüft und offiziell empfohlen.
BionicBack
The BionicBack is a passive exoskeleton designed to reduce the strain on the back during lifting and carrying. By supporting the natural movements of the back and relieving strain on the lumbar spine during daily work activities, the BionicBack helps to improve the health and well-being of users.
WE WANTED TO KNOW EXACTLY.
Empirical studies show that the BionicBack reduces muscle fatigue by up to 86% and improves posture by 37%. Muscle activity during lifting and carrying is reduced by 5-35%, which significantly reduces the strain on the back muscles. These results show that the BionicBack is an effective solution for supporting and relieving the back during physically demanding activities. The significant improvements in posture and reduction in muscle fatigue contribute significantly to the long-term health and performance of users.
RELIEF FOR CAREGIVERS
Care workers are under a lot of physical strain every day - the back in particular is under a lot of strain. In a one-year long-term study, we at Help Tech, together with the Diakonie Stiftung Salem, WohnXperium e.V. and bkk melitta hmr, investigated how the BionicBack can improve working conditions in the care sector.
The results speak for themselves: the strain on the lower back was reduced, pain in the back, shoulder and neck area decreased noticeably and care staff reported a more pleasant, ergonomic way of working. In addition, optimized movement patterns resulted in long-term health benefits.
The study has shown that the BionicBack can make a valuable contribution to health prevention in the care sector.
