Choosing the right orthopaedic office chair is important for those who spend all day working on a desk, sitting at their office chair - a position which adjoins stress in the spine of their body. To avoid such back problem, it is essential to have a chair which is ergonomic that supports their lower back, and thus promoting good posture. There are several types of orthopaedic office chair which are available to be used in any office or home. There are things which are important to consider when looking for an office chair that will allow the user to have a chair that supports the spine while seated all day. Here are some features of a good office or work desk chair: Seat height Seat height of an office chair must be adjustable. One easy way to adjust the height is through the pneumatic adjustment lever. Seat height which ranges from sixteen to twenty one inches from the floor will work for almost any adult. This will allow their feet to touch the floor flat with thighs on a horizontal position and arms with the desk height. Lumbar support Support for the lower back is important in the orthopaedic office chair. Lumbar spine has a natural inward curve and sitting without support for a long period of time leads to slouching (the flattening of the curve of the spine), and straining the structures at the lower portion of the spine. The chair must have lumbar adjustment to support the lower back curve while in sitting position. Backrest The backrest for an orthopaedic office chair should be twelve to nineteen inches wide. In case the backrest and the seat are separate, the height and angle must be adjustable. It should support the curve of our spine. If the seat and backrest of the chair are together as a single unit, it is necessary for the backrest to be adjustable in both forward and backward angles with a lock to secure from going far backward once the appropriate angle has determined. Armrest The armrest of the chair must be adjustable because it allows you to rest your arms and to relax the shoulders. While typing, the lower arms and elbows must rest lightly and forearms must not be at the armrest. Material of the seat The material used on chair seat and also on the back must have sufficient padding to feel comfortable when seated for an extended period of time. It is preferred for hard surfaces to have a cloth fabric. Joseph works for Norwich based Lockwood Hume.
