How to solve the problem of maintaining a healthy sitting posture has always been a very challenging design topic.
For a long time, in the long historical process, maintaining a correct sitting posture has not been fundamentally broken through and solved. Different shapes and different chairs support people’s various sitting postures. A good chair even includes the function of forcibly correcting the body shape of bad sitting postures. As far as ergonomic chair design is concerned, it includes two major design tasks, one is the physical structure design of the seat itself; the other is the design that meets the user’s human biomechanics requirements. The former belongs to the work of office furniture engineering, and the latter is the field to be explored by industrial design or ergonomics. Discussion of sitting posture theory Sitting posture is a natural posture of the human body.
It has many advantages, which can avoid muscle fatigue, reduce the energy consumption of the human body, and is more conducive to blood circulation than standing posture. It also helps the operator to take a more stable posture to perform various delicate and fine movements. It is also the best posture for operating foot-operated control devices.
Still, sitting has its disadvantages in some ways, the most important of which is that it limits the mobility of the human body, especially when it requires greater force with the hands or arms or engaging in rotational movements. Therefore, an efficient and comfortable chair must provide stability and variability to the person sitting on it. For some people, a healthy and strong back seems incompatible with long periods of sedentary work.
One way to strengthen your back while sitting is to use a stool as an auxiliary chair to your office chair. The stool allows the user to sit in an ergonomic position with an open hip angle, supporting the user in a healthy and varied sitting position during a long day of work. You can also choose a stool with a dynamic seat, which increases the activity of the back, lower back and abdominal muscles. This helps to strengthen the muscles and joints of the back, lower back and abdomen, and use your balance while sitting.
He Rong recommends using stools as additional chairs in the workplace and at home to change your sitting posture throughout the day. In an office environment, several people can easily take turns using the stool.
