Getting Started
•
A height- and tilt-adjustment feature. It should
be easy to adjust your chair height from 40 cm
to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as measured
from the top of the seat pan to the floor. If you
are much taller or shorter than average, you may
need a chair that can be adjusted beyond this
range. Adjust your chair so that the work surface
or keyboard tray is at elbow height and your feet
are flat on the floor with your knees slightly bent
below your hips. Ideally, the seat pan should be
able to tilt both forward (minimum of 5 degrees)
and backward (minimum of 10 degrees). If the
chair has an adjustable seat pan, inclining the
seat slightly forward will transfer some of the
pressure from the spine to the thighs and feet.
This will relieve pressure on your back.
•
A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should
be curved and finished in a “waterfall” edge.
•
An adjustable back support in both height and
forward and backward tilt. It is important that the
backrest correctly supports the lower part, or
lumbar curve, of the back.
•
A freely rotating swivel so you can move easily
from side-to-side.
•
Fully adjustable and padded armrests. The
chair arms should not interfere with adjusting the
chair or moving it close to your work surface.
