If you need to buy an orthopaedic chair for your office or practice, it is important to follow our instructions and valuable advice. The purchase of an orthopaedic or ergonomic chair is very important to preserve our health; if we consider the fact that we spend most of our weekly time at the desk in our office or study, we will understand how important it will be to optimize a healthy and ergonomic chair, which is able to balance the load of our spending in the correct way, without overstraining the lumbar and cervical muscles.
The choice of the best orthopaedic chair is anything but a simple task: here are some important tricks to be considered with particular care when choosing an orthopaedic chair.
When choosing an orthopaedic chair, we should first of all consider what are the main features that characterise the ergonomic chair models available on the market.
Having said that, it will be important to recognise the specific characteristics of these models of chairs. The choice of purchasing an orthopaedic chair is fundamental today, if for professional reasons we spend around 8 hours a day sitting at our office desk. The main characteristic that characterizes ergonomic chairs, is that they are conceived, designed and built in such a way as to provide lumbar support to the back, during their use, constantly maintaining a correct posture.
In this regard, it is important to point out that the current law in force on the subject of work, obliges all companies to comply with the regulations on safety at work, with the rules laid down in the Consolidated Act 81, Ex Art. 626. But what are the specific characteristics that identify an orthopaedic chair? These chair models are characterised by a series of adjustments that favour the maintenance of correct posture.
The back of an ergonomic chair will follow the movements of the torso, relieving the spine from the load. The ergonomic office chairs propose a mechanism aimed at adjusting the position of the backrest and seat; in particular, this adjustment can be of three types respectively: permanent contact, syncro and oscillating.
The ergonomic chairs, equipped with a permanent adjustment mechanism, guarantee the maintenance of the backrest in permanent contact with the seated person's body. The oscillating mechanism allows the backrest to oscillate and the seat to move forward or backward.
Finally there are the ergonomic chairs with syncro movement: in this mechanism, both the backrest and the seat will follow the movement of the body; a higher backrest will also help to ensure that the weight of the spinal column is relieved from the chair.
Thanks to the presence of the armrests, the arms can be kept in a relaxed position; in this regard we recommend combining the armrests with an orthopaedic chair, should they be provided.
Ergonomics is a science that has certainly made considerable progress in recent years. Today it is possible to establish a series of parameters, which we could define as fundamental, in the choice of an ergonomic chair.
The latter must have been designed, conceived and created to favour movement and change of position, favouring the right support for the spinal column of the seated person; in this way the lumbar area will not be subjected to prolonged static loads.
In order to optimise a healthy and correct posture, it is also important to ensure optimal angulation between the legs and the trunk: this will only be possible if the backrest and seat surface maintain a constant trim between them.
In this regard, we do not recommend those seats that only have a reclining backrest and can therefore lead to incorrect and inappropriate positions. In the treatment of postural problems and dysfunctions, it is very important to improve load distribution as much as possible.
