SEAT WITH ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM

摘要

A sacral support assembly (10, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 710, 810, 910) for use with a seat is provided. The seat includes a seat frame (204, 404, 504, 604). An adjustable sacral support assembly (10, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 710, 810, 910) is connected to the seat frame (204, 404, 504, 604). The sacral support assembly (10, 210, 410, 510, 610, 710, 810, 910) includes a sacral support member (14, 214, 414, 514, 614, 714, 814, 914) adapted to support the sacrum of a seated user. A method is also provided for delivering adjustable, stabilizing support to a user's sacrum and sacral-pelvic anatomy to reduce fatigue, increase comfort, stability and posture for a user, and a system for adjusting and controlling the load distribution from the sacral anatomy to the anatomical structures adjacent to a user's sacrum, for example, the pelvis and lumbar regions.
