5 Fighting for healthier backs for nearly 20 years: AGR (Campaign for Healthier Backs) Backaches: multiple causes and severe consequences. This common ailment affects a large proportion of the population; many people are impacted to such a degree that they can no longer work.for this reason, Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.v. (AGR) has used information campaigns and a quality seal for almost 20 years to fight for products which are kind to the back. Mat.-Nr /17 en We reserve the right to make technical modifications. Slight colour differences are due to the printing process. Copyright KaVo Dental GmbH. Awkward work s and motion sequences lead to back complaints. Of central importance for back, shoulder and neck aches are poor ergonomic s and unilateral strains at the workplace. Since its founding in 1995, AGR e.v. has been following a holistic approach in the treatment and prevention of back complaints. The purpose of the association is to create awareness concerning backaches and to advise how they can be reduced or completely prevented in everyday life. Furthermore, the AGR e.v. awards a quality seal to products that are particularly good for the back. The seal of approval was developed in cooperation with Germany s two largest back school associations: the BdR e.v. Federal Association of German Back Schools and the Forum Gesunder Rücken - besser leben e.v. Forum Healthier Backs For a Better Life. Members of this registered association are exclusively doctors and therapists. A deciding factor for the award is among other things a product s overall ergonomic concept. The examination phase is independent from manufacturer and AGR e.v. Usually once a year a multi-disciplinary panel of experts from medical science and therapy decides upon the granting of the award. The first step is the submission of a product by its manufacturer. Secondly, the manufacturer has to demonstrate the product s capability and establish why it would merit the title back-friendly. Most applications fail at this stage. Of 100 products submitted, maximally five remain at this stage. Then doctors and therapists establish criteria for the product under scrutiny. During the last step, the independent panel examines the product and decides on the award of the seal. For further information, please visit The title Tested & Recommended is awarded only to products that fulfill the strict evaluation criteria of an independent, multidisciplinary expert panel, comprised of medical practitioners and therapists. AGR s press officer and deputy managing director Detlef Detjen says: The independent experts in the testing commission decide regarding the awarding of the seal. This is another reason for us having been praised by - amongst others - the ÖKO-TEST magazine, for transparency and independence in awarding the seal. Subject to changes and printing errors.
