Ergonomics is a kind of technology born after the Second World War. In addition to our common modeling design, ergonomics actually includes many aspects such as the position arrangement of buttons, the design of explanatory text and so on.
In recent years, “ergonomics” and “ergonomics” have been frequently mentioned on various e-commerce platforms and social media, and there are hundreds of emerging office chair brands. In particular, due to long-term isolation, activity restriction and emotional depression caused by the epidemic, people have a brand new understanding of health, and healthy office is no longer just talk.
How to judge the office chair is ergonomic?
It was hard for our parents to understand that people can get hurt while sitting in an office. However, it is now common for young people to suffer from lumbar muscle strain.
In recent years, Sunon has conducted in-depth research in the field of health office, and has conducted a series of studies based on ergonomics at SAN Ao – Nan Lin Health Office Research Center.
We found that whether consumers or brands, the research on office chairs focused on the back support point of the seat, but often ignored the impact of the seat cushion on sitting posture.
01
Choose the right seat size
According to research, in the upright state of the spine, the body in front of the support to share the strength of the case, sitting for a long time will still cause fatigue factors: unreasonable height and depth of the seat size. Even if we use an “expensive” ergonomic chair, improper use can still cause discomfort.
Comfortable sitting height, should make the back support the lumbar spine to maintain the normal lumbar bend, at the same time the knee socket with a certain distance in front of the seat, to ensure that the leg blood flow comfortable.
02 Pay attention to cushion shape
Open even release pressure
According to the principle of ergonomics, the most comfortable body pressure distribution should ensure that most of the mass of the human body with a larger support area, smaller unit pressure, reasonable distribution to the cushion and back.
Sunon Health Office Research Center adopts the test method of seat surface body pressure distribution, the study found that the seat surface with high seat comfort will not appear high pressure area, and the change of body pressure distribution should be uniform, the distribution of adjacent compression area should be continuous.
03 Select inside and outside material
An excellent office chair, cushion inside must have the appropriate thickness of the elastic layer, the outermost material due to long-term contact with the human body, should be selected breathable, wear-resistant, dirty, and not easy to produce static electricity with the human body or clothing material.
Air-tight cushions create an environment conducive to bacteria and germs, increasing the chance of urinary tract infections.
The study found that, compared with traditional cushion, wintex high-strength fabric is more supportive and fit. As a chair back material, Wintex can fit the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae of the human body to provide elastic support for the waist. As a cushion material, it can ensure the cushion breathable, strong bearing, comfortable sitting, breathable and not stuffy.
