How To Sit In Good Posture- The Biomechanics

Good sitting posture involves maintaining proper alignment of the head, neck, spine, and pelvis, as well as good muscle balance and control.

The following are some key biomechanical principles to consider when sitting:

  • 1 Neutral spine alignment: The natural curvature of the spine should be maintained when sitting, with the head and neck in line with the rest of the spine. Avoid slouching or leaning forward excessively.

  • 2 Pelvic tilt: The pelvis should be tilted slightly forward, which helps maintain the natural curvature of the lower spine and reduces pressure on the lower back.

  • 3 Knee angle: The knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle when sitting, with the feet flat on the ground. Avoid crossing the legs or sitting with the feet under the chair, as these positions can lead to poor circulation and muscle imbalances.

  • 4 Armrests: If the chair has armrests, use them to support your arms and shoulders. Avoid hunching over or leaning on one arm for extended periods of time.

  • 5 Muscle balance: Good sitting posture involves maintaining balance and control of the muscles in the body. Avoid holding tension in the shoulders, neck, or back, and take breaks to stretch and move around regularly.

It’s difficult to maintain this type of body alignment without the proper support.

This is where Anthros comes in. Anthros has a unique independently adjustable two-part back system that adapts to individual body types. This means that you can adjust the low back support to support your pelvis in your optimal position, which will then align the spine. The upper back can then be adjusted to support your spine in alignment.

The Anthros seat cushion has been tested and proven to be the lowest-pressure cushion of all the leading competitors. This provides the most comfortable sitting position and minimizes the perceived need to shift, cross your legs, or move in your chair. This is another way that Anthros will keep your body in the best possible alignment.

The 4D armrests can be adjusted to the optimal position and allow you to get as close to your work surface as possible without interference. This provides the best possible task position for focus and performance.
