A torso and forearm supporting device for supporting the body of a user resting in a seated or standing position is provided. Forearm supports allow the user to rest at least one forearm during forearm movement while continuously engaging the armrest. The forearm supports are individually adjustable vertically and rotatably to accommodate the dynamic and/or continuous movement of the user's arm(s). The device includes a support base, such as a swivel chair base or a floor-mounted platform with an upwardly extending stanchion. A post assembly is mounted extending upwardly from the base and a torso support pad is disposed on the top end of the post assembly to support the user in a chest-supported position by engaging the user's chest and for supporting the user in a back-supported position by engaging the user's back. A seat can be mounted to the base, for seating the user in chest-supported position straddling the post assembly and also in the back-supported position. Alternatively, the post assembly can be mounted at the top of an upwardly extending stanchion resting on the floor to support the user in an upright/standing posture. Preferably the invention includes articulated armrest brackets that fold in a compact manner behind the post assembly for storage when not in use. |
