Ergonomics is the study that deals with the interaction between humans and
their activities. It is the practice of designing an environment to adapt to the
characteristics of the people who are within it.
A well designed chair is comfortable and it supports the key areas of the body
without restricting movement.
After the common cold, more people see doctors about back pain than any other
ailment. Almost 80% of the worldwide population will suffer back or neck pain at one
time or another. These conditions receive great attention from doctors, chiropractors,
physiotherapists and other health care professionals, yet there is no one simple cure.
It is important to take care of your back to keep it healthy. Improving your posture
and reducing the strains of everyday living will help reduce back pain and help you
maintain a healthier back as you grow older.

“All backrests should provide adequate lumbar support
and buttocks clearance. For tasks requiring upper body
mobility, the backrest should provide adequate back
support, but not interfere with the user’s movement
(typically these backs should not be higher than the
bottom of the user’s shoulder blades). For users who prefer
reclining postures, or more upper back support, the back
height should provide support for the shoulder blades”.
