Evaluation of different saddle seats / office chairs by assessing the pressure distribution and comfort
A leading office furniture manufacturer is in the process of innovating a new saddle stool, designed to enhance ergonomic seating. The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics at ETH Zurich is closely supporting this new development and is designing a user study with 30 participants. This study focuses on examining the pressure distribution and comfort levels provided by this new seating solution compared to other models of saddle stools currently on the market. Alongside this practical assessment, a literature review will be conducted to explore the pros and cons of saddle stools. The insights generated from this review will be integrated with the outcomes of the empirical study. The aim is to offer a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness and potential applications of these ergonomic seating solutions in workplace environments.
