Ergonomics describes how
objects should adapt to human requirements for comfort and productivity. If
seating is to be of use, it must comply with the overall needs of the user.
Adjustability is the key; but adjustability is only as good as the
user-friendliness of the controls.
Ergonomic seating features can
improve employee productivity and contribute to the reduction of
absenteeism and workman's compensation expenses through reduction of
work-related injury. many work-related health problems (such as carpal
tunnel syndrome, cumulative trauma disorder, back and neck pain, etc.) raise
insurance costs and lower work standards.
While sitting is our most
common activity, the human body was not anatomically designed to sit in chairs
for long periods of time. Ergonomic features and adjustments can provide the
comfort to meet this need.
