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.
Memory Foam (MF): Slow release memory foam evenly distributes body weight, helping to minimize pressure points and ease blood circulation. Optional.
ErgoGel (OJ): Global’s optional height adjustable, kidney shaped conforming gel armrests offer high shock absorption, and years of durable use. Armrests support and help reduce neck and shoulder strain.
“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”.

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.
