Sturfer – training device and office chair in one

Sturfer is a new type of training device integrated into an office chair which makes it possible to adjust the working position in a wide range of different positions in order to relieve muscle tension, prevent muscle shortening and improve blood circulation.

According to EP3917362A1 (see Fig. 3 of EP3917362A1), one of the special tricks of the Sturfer is that an upper body section 1 has a chest support 6 for supporting the chest and an abdominal support 7 for supporting the abdomen, which can be pivoted by means of an intermediate joint 8.

Common office chairs of this type do not have a swivel chest and abdominal support that can further relieve the body.

The Sturfer also offers other mechanisms that support ergonomic sitting. Further information can be found, for example, on the website or on the corresponding YouTube channel of STURFDOC - Dr. Christian Behrendt.
