5.4 To sit on a saddle chair
To sit on a saddle chair is different from sitting on a regular chair.
Place yourself beside the chair. Lift the leg closest to the chair over
the seat and sit down. Can be likened to sit on a “male bike”
Be careful when lifting the leg over the seat, the chair
can be pushed away
Warning! Attempt to be seated traditionally, which is
from the front, may result in the chair rolling away and
causing personal injury.
5.5 Adjusting the correct seating position
The seats are adjustable in height with hand or foot control. Some
chairs also have tiltable seat.
When an optimal ergonomic position appears shall the chair feel
comfortable and a 135oangle is created between the thighs and upper
body.
The legs should be relaxed and the feet shall rest steady on the floor,
not hanging in the air. Normally is the height of the seat changed
250-400mm upwards compared to a regular office chair.
To achieve optimal seating position:
1. Raise the chair so the feet is hanging in the air
2. Let your leg and pelvis relax and stretch for some minute,
which the gravity takes care of
3. Lower the chair until the heels touches the floor
