Microsoft receives AGR seal of approval
The Aktion Gesunder Rücken eV (AGR) has awarded eight Microsoft products with the AGR seal of quality. This means that these devices have special ergonomic properties.
Microsoft submitted its ergonomic input devices to the AGR for testing and received the recognized AGR seal of approval for eight of its devices. Microsoft developed the ergonomic mouse as early as 1993 and the ergonomic keyboard a year later. This made the company a pioneer in the field. Today, the company has a whole portfolio of ergonomic products and has a development team that focuses exclusively on the topic of ergonomics.
The AGR seal of approval
The Aktion Gesunder Rücken eV (AGR) works with important medical associations and experts and tests a wide variety of items for their back-friendly construction. Only products that meet the high requirements and can withstand the strict testing criteria are awarded the prize. The testing is carried out by an independent commission of experts.
Ergonomic input devices
The current figures show how important the topic of ergonomic input devices is. In Germany, 17 million people work on computers and perform the same movements up to 25,000 times a day. Working without an ergonomic mouse often leads to RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), better known as "mouse arm". Ergonomics has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. More and more companies are developing ergonomic input devices, not just Microsoft.
Ergonomic office chairs
A lot has already happened in the field of office chairs. Just think of the Aeris Swopper or the Aeris Muvman, both chairs that allow for dynamic sitting. Using these office chairs means back pain is a thing of the past.
