Brief description

Wim Don, a physiotherapist and Rob Veldhoven, a technician (from which the name VelDon® was derived) developed the innovative FlexChair®/TBT in cooperation with TU in Delft, the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam and others.

Approximately 300 certified physiotherapists are currently using the evidence-based trunk balance testing and training unit which is organised in a national network, to treat lower back pains. Another positive approach is the preventive approach, which is designed to make people aware of their sitting posture and behaviour and using this awareness to improve any problems, has been very effective.
The test results are stored nationally in an anonymous database. By providing involved paramedics with access to these results, more scientific possibilities are reachable.
