Ergonomics Chair : Probable Risks(2)

Too high Ergonomics Chairs force the users to work with their feet unsupported and make them move forward in the Ergonomics Chair to a position where the back gets zero support which makes it even more difficult for them to maintain the S-shape of the spine.

If the user sits continuously in such postures, it can cause fatigue, restricted circulation, swelling, numbness, and pain.

Feasible Solutions

  • Do make use of a footrest that gives good support to the feet if your seat cannot be lowered.
  • The seat pan should be adjustable and of appropriate size to provide support to your body in all your convenient postures. See to it that the seat has the following features:
  • The height of the seat should be adjustable especially when there are multiple users. It is ideal if the entire sole of the user’s feet can be rested on the floor with the back portion of the knee slightly higher than the seat of the Ergonomics Chair.
  • The seat has padded and a rounded, "waterfall" edge.
  • The width of the seat should accommodate almost all the hip sizes, at least the majority. For larger users, those with oversize seat pans should be provided.
