“It can be said that the design structure TEST satisfies condition of strain minimizing at long-lasting sitting position without restriction. The TEST type improves the ergonomic quality of the seats design by its new, original conception of the seat surface in a remarkable way. Its dominant positive contribution can be seen in a reduction of the presses on the pelvic bottom simultaneously with the fixation of the pelvis in an optimal, adjustable position. This new element does not exist in any other variant of present standard seats. Therefore we recommend this principle to be implemented for the seats determined for workplaces with a monotonous and sedentary working mode, e.g. office workplaces with PCs, operators’ workplaces, car seats, and the like. We recommend also utilisation in health service, for example at the reduction of handicap consequences, vertebrogen syndrome and the like.”
