Company Profile

Back Quality Ergonomics
Back Quality Ergonomics is founded by Physiotherapist Ernst Haaksma. After many years of experience as a physiotherapist he decided to specialise in the design, selection and supply of ergonomic solutions. Back Quality Ergonomics started out as the RUAC, the Back Training and Advisory Centre in The Hague, founded in 1988.

Back Quality Ergonomics B.V. (BQE) wants to make a unique and long-lasting solution for back and neck problems, caused by sitting work, available for everyone and through this to make a contribution to a better quality of life. In addition it strives to decrease the unnecessary absence from work due to sickness and keep the manageable costs of the health care in general.

BQE is different from other companied thanks to the combination of the professional knowledge of the person’s body and personal advice.

BQE is the market leader in the ergonomic products, developed with the use of the special scientific knowledge, in the Netherlands. In time it wants to reach the same position on the European market and further.

Dynamic 15.09.2008

The Dynamic is an ergonomic stool specially designed to combat and prevent back complaints. It was developed and tested by physiotherapists in collaboration with the RUAC ( Back School and Advice Centre) in The Hague (The Netherlands). The Dynamic links the two sitting positions with a tilting mechanism. When in the active position, the seat has a positive inclination of 3 degrees. In this way it is easier for the vertebral column to move into the (least stressing) lordosis position (the pelvis tilts forwards). When the centre of gravity is moved slightly backwards, the same tilts 6 degrees backwards. At the same time the lumbar support automatically moves forward, guaranteeing the lordosis position during passive sitting. In this way back stress is minimized in both positions. Support in the lumbar region means that the vertebral column can assume a form as close as possible to the anatomical curve. Without lumbar support (for instance sitting on a conventional stool) pelvis tilts backwards, the vertebral column takes a C-shape and the torso has less stability. The cleverly designed lumbar support of the Dynamic guarantees the natural S-form of the lumbar vertebral column to determined more accurately per segment. The small size of the lumbar support ensures an optimal freedom of movement and activates the stretching of the vertebral column.
