Strongback Awards
Last updated: · Reviewed by Christian Grothe
Strongback's ergonomic design has been recognized three times for its wheelchairs by international design juries: the German Design Award (2018 and 2020) and the Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design (2023), plus a German Design Award Special Mention for the SEATA rollator (2022). In the US market, the line has also earned the HME Innovative Retail Product Award (2017) and a Medtrade Providers Choice Honorable Mention (2019). The awards point to one thing: a frame-integrated backrest engineered for the natural curve of the human spine. Award-winning ergonomic design, across every chair we build.
