Background

There is limited research investigating the effects of the Saddle Chair on spinal angles and it has not been determined if there is a difference between a self –selected comfortable posture (SSCP) and a standardised ergonomic posture (SEP).

Purpose of Study

Investigate if there is a difference in head tilt (HT); neck angle (NA); cervico-thoracic angle (CTA); thoracic angle (TA); lumbar angle (LA) and pelvic tilt (PT) when sitting on a saddle chair and adopting a SSCP compared with a SEP.
