Standing Inclination (posture) of Ergonomics and Designs Model Augment Comfort and Mitigate of Sedentary Influence

Abstract. Since the 21st century, with the rapid development and advancement of science and technology, there is a significant increase in the employment and education rates of all people, more and more people are facing the problems caused by sedentary behavior. Sedentary behavior has some negative impacts on health, both of a physical, mental, and socio-economic nature. Though assuming traditional sitting postures is almost effective in reducing spinal pressure and muscle fatigue during long sitting, it normally does not help. This study mainly focuses on an innovative standing inclination posture designed to distribute body weight more evenly and reduce spinal stress. In this regard, the study uses conceptual factors' models of ergonomics, in conjunction with the Vink-Hallbeck comfort perception chart, to analyze the feasibility and comfort of such a new posture. The preliminary findings of this study already indicated a clear improvement in pressure distribution with an increase in comfort; thus, some sedentary subjects could benefit.
